[WriteLog] AutoClearOnTuneMinHz=n

And another one I find handy (from
http://k9jy.com/writelog/writelogini/band-map/)

AutoFillFromBandmapHz=n

If you tune closer than AutoFillFromBandmapHz to a bandmap station, the
Entry window will be auto-filled from his frequency. Set this to zero and
WriteLog will not auto fill. AutoClearOnTuneMinHz set to zero will disable
AutoFillFromBandmap as well.

Once you're bandmap is filled, as you tune across a station, their callsign
appears in the call field in your log.  Slick for that 2nd pass through the
band.
