[WriteLog] How to setup Writelog for W1AW

[Gary AL9A]

Steve,

Well, that's certainly interesting!  I will try to set it up again tonight 
and make a few "dummy" entries into the log and see how it dupes.  If it 
accepts the same call on the same band but with a different mode and doesn't 
flag it as a dupe then it must be the DXpedition module even though it says 
DXCC tracking module.  Thanks for the tip.

73,
Gary AL9A

I always pick DXpedition mode and down at the bottom is always shows
General DX Tracking.
