If W-T added a symbol for the previously-logged call, you could
construct a message like:

  $PREVCALL TU NW $LOGGEDCALL $GUESSEXCH $F2

Then you could log the first call, click on the second one, then invoke
this message. See also [1]

This feature has been requested several times, but has not transpired
so-far.

In ARRL RTTY RU, with W-T, in lieu of this feature, I kludged it by
hitting escape during the "TU" message and then starting to work the
next call before my CQ. Not quite as slick, but it worked some of the
time.

N1MM allows stacking of multiple calls, and working through them with
similar messages. That's what I was using in WPX.
