I agree wholeheartedly with Clive. There have been requests for this
functionality to be added to WL from several serious CW contesters going
back a couple of years now.
I do hope that by now this request has worked its way near to the top of
Wayne's list!
Wayne would it make sense to recite a specification for the functionality we
would like to see?
