Saw the same issues with moving around the entry screen.  Annoying.  I tried
the free form and that really isn't the answer either.  It thought 119a was
a callsign.

The only way I see to add a call to the bandmap is the entry menu.  Should
be a keystroke.  If I recall TR adds it when you hit the space bar to check
if it is a dupe. 

Someday I hope WL will address S&P mode like TR.  That was a cool feature.

No other glitches with the program during the contest.  Had some rf flying
around that causes some of the cw sent to be abnormal.  Lowered the power
and all was good in the world again.

I ditched RCKLog in favor of WriteLog and operated in the ARRL Sweepstakes
CW this past weekend.  I find the CW generation much more stable in WriteLog
and the overall performance to be a huge improvement.  A few questions
though:

1) Is there a better way to add a call to the band map with a single 
keystroke.   I found myself right clicking the entry window to do this.  
Then I'd have to do an Alt-W to clear the entry.   This got old real quick.

  Is there a single keystroke for this?   I didn't see it in the docs.

2) When I was entering Q's in the window, I'd start with the call.   Then 
I'd hit the space bar to move between fields as I enter the data.   I like 
this.   However, I found that if I clicked on another field, or forget to do

an Alt-W to clear a blown Q the tab order would get confused.   This 
resulted in having to ask for fills.   Not cool.

Overall, I like the program.   The only thing that would be nice to have is 
an additional docking window that has a clock that displays local and UTC
time in nice bold characters.

Thanks in advance for your help,
