Ok, I can deal with this method, except for one thing: In TRlog, or any of
them I think, how do I "mark" a qso as incomplete during the contest in
such
a way that the POST program, or whatever, will figure this out and generate
the correct Cabrillo format? What TRLog function key do I hit? What text do
I type in what column? What note text do I add after the incomplete qso to
make this happen automatically? I don't think this is in the programs
anywhere. Or is this in the works? Tree?
