[WriteLog] WPX number problem

[John Bastin]

This is a good trick but it seemed like 95% of the time in the contest where I got letters because the shift was lost, the spaces or dashes between the numbers were lost, also, and I would get something like PRPWEPRP&X and the like.

That's why one of my F-keys is programmed for %C NR? NR?

73,
