[WriteLog] % L in rtty F key memory not working

Wed Jan 23 19:04:23 EST 2013

You can make the C field go away by adding
ShowCountry=0

To the [Multipliers] section of the Writelog.ini file.

>From the Help: "Set ShowCountry to zero to make the COUNTRY and C fields not
show in the Entry Window by default."
