[WT-support] Sprint Logic feature

[José Nunes CT1BOH]

Why not have the Automatic Guess Exchange ticked as default.

I see a lot of people complain with this, and I don't understand why anyone
would want to run a contest without automatic excahnge guess...
Sure if they read the documentation is all there, but there are so many
things that I think it is best to have this on default.

Hope to see all from CQ9K MM from Madeira Island
