[WriteLog] Date Change

[Gary AL9A]

It should be noted that there are probably some limits to the built in WL 
ability to do mass changes to the DATE field data, particularly the time 
fields.  As John K8AJS indicates below, you can readily change the hour of 
clock time for a given segment of records in the log.  However, I would be 
very careful in applying group changes to the minutes field.  I suspect that 
you could easily end up with all the minute times of a given highlighted 
range being changed so that a large number of records all have the same 
minute time stamp!  This is less than desirable!  Prior to undertaking such 
a change be sure to make a backup copy of your .wl file so that if things 
run amok you can revert back to where you started from with minimal 
problems.

It’s absolutely possible to change the times in a group of QSOs inside 
Writelog very easily, using the method described by Gary. I had to do this 
on a number of QSOs in CQ WW RTTY, adjusting an entire group by one hour, 
due to a foul-up in my Windows clock.
