[WT-support] Deleting logged QSOs

[Stewart GM4AFF]

Clive, I just enter my own call, then remove my calls from the log at the
end - I think there's a command to do that - just like CT.

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.
