[WriteLog] Lotus .wk1 files

[Gary AL9A]

Jerry,

I also have Excel 2007 and discovered this problem after the ARRL Field Day 
last June.  They wanted just a list of stations worked by band and mode - no 
Cabrillo.  Someone told me to use File/Export/DIFF spreadsheet format...  I 
did and Excel reads it in just fine.  Once in Excel you can delete any 
fields you don't need, sort as necessary and save as an xls file.  Good 
luck.

73,
Gary AL9A
