[WriteLog] WPX RTTY and grab callsign with mouseclick

[Gary AL9A]

As usual, Don has a great idea!  Right now I'm pounding my head on the desk 
muttering "Why didn't I think of that?"!

Go to Contest/Exchange Format Setup...  In the "Edit QSO Exchange Fields 
window" click on the RS Exchange Field indicator on the left side.  On the 
right side clear the check mark from "Prompt.  Include in QSO entry prompt" 
and click Save, then OK.  Now the Entry window contains only CALL, NUMB, 
COUNTRY, C, no RS field.  Now when clicking a call with the mouse the cursor 
jumps directly to the NUMB field - there is no where else it can stop!

If you ever have someone send you an exchange other than 599 make a note of 
it on a scratch pad.  After the contest go into the Edit QSO Exchange Fields 
again and turn the RS prompt back on.  Then you can edit the field for that 
call before creating your Cabrillo file.

73,
Gary AL9A

Yes, I believe this is normal. A way around it is to get rid of the RST 
field in the Entry Window. When you eliminate the RST field in the Entry 
Window, the cursor will go immediately to the number field when a call is 
clicked. I know how to do it, but I don't have WL on this PC, so will post 
how to get rid of the RST field when I get home tonight.
