[WriteLog] save configuration

Sat Jul 20 11:28:08 EDT 2019

I share your sentiments.  I do a lot of save configuration because I operate different modes and sometimes I want bandmaps or cluster info and sometimes not.

The one that really gets me now is the number of mouse manipulations it takes to change CW/RTTY messages.  You select from menu, get pulldown, then one more select.  This is something I always seem to be doing when in a hurry so I mis-click.  😊
