[WriteLog] Fw: deleting stations from the band map

[Gerald Wilson]

Hi Phil    K3TUF,

You can add stations to the bandmap for future reference without entering 
them into the log.

This last weekend during the CQ WW phone contest there were several pileups 
that I could not break the first time around.  I entered the call on the 
bandmap so that the desired callsign was highlighted so that I could easily 
return to that frequency.

You may enter the callsign into the entry field/box/window (as you would 
likely do in preparing to make a contact during search and pounce 
operating).   If you then hit the space-bar, the callsign of the station you 
are "targeting" will be entered onto the bandmap.   You will note that the 
colors on the bandmap will highlight those new stations and new multipliers 
which you need.   If you cannot work the station after several calls, you 
may hit <Alt-W> to wipe the entry field/box clean and continue tuning the 
band for more workable calls until the pileup on that first station 
(hopefully) dies down.   The callsign entry which you posted to your own 
bandmap will remain on the bandmap for a specified time.

See the help files (or this reflector's archives) for information on how to 
keep the posting on the bandmap for longer or shorter time periods than the 
WriteLog default (something like 15 - 20 minutes) and how to change the font 
in various windows to one that shows slashed-zeros to minimize mistakes on 
possibly varing callsigns with 2 digits or visually ambiguous calls (e.g. 
S50S or WO0V).

Happy WriteLog-ging.
73,

   Jerry    K7VIT
