Another popular contest logging program can take UDP from logged WSJT-X 
contacts and import them into its log.

Is this a possibility in some future update to Writelog? It would have 
been a big help this past weekend in the ARRL VHF contest. Lots of FT8 
contacts on 6M! I ended up typing them in as they happened.
