[WT-support] Deleting logged QSOs

[Clive Whelan]

Thanks Bob

I r-e-a-l-l-y need a way to delete junk QSOs from the keyboard. At rates 
of 200 QSOs per hour, there just ain't time to mess with the mouse, and 
leaving a junk QSO in could result in a NIL penalty in e.g. CQWW. N1MM 
logger does this effectively so why can't WT?. I hope Laurent can 
address this issue in due course.
