[WT-support] Problem with zone guessing in 3.16

[Bob Wilson, N6TV]

I had the same problem with WT 3.16.  But after you enter the full call, if
you move over to the zone field and press Ctrl-W or Ctrl-K to clear it, then
press the space bar a couple times, WT will usually fill in the correct
zone.

73,
