[WriteLog] split feature request

[Gary Senesac]

George,

Question.  When running a dxpedition pileup in split why are you clicking on the band map?  Wouldn't it be better to just type in the call heard in SSB and CW?  Or, if in CW click on the decoded call in the Rttyrite window?

It seems odd that if you're running a pileup that you would depend upon a call, other than your own, to be spotted on the band map so you can click on it.  Most skimmer spots are generated by stations calling CQ or TEST.  Some skimmers are fooled into spotting a call from a station answering a CQ, but that is in the minority.  Seems to me that if you are only working those stations in your pile up that have been spotted to your band map the pile up is "big" because your rate is too slow to pare it down.

>Gentleman, I am using 10.62H, (it is a bit old, I know). The radio is an FT1000MP +QS1R.When I click on a callsign in the band-map, VFO-A tunes to the station's frequency and the radio goes off from split, even if it was set up for split operation before. That is fine for contesting - the primary purpose of Writelog.But if I am running a dxpedition pileup, I have to push the VFO-B TX button on the radio, to get back to split. In a big pileup this is slowing down the operation, not fun.It would be a nice feature, to have an option in dxpedition logging, which lives the radio in split, when clicking on the band map. If this option is already available in the new version 11 or in a third party add-on, please let me know.
