Yes, let me try to update that script with the new VHF contests (thanks),
and also to use the locator in the grid field, if it is entered there.  If
a grid is entered in *both* the callsign and grid fields, I think I'll make
the one in the grid field get priority, so I'll check that first.  QRX.

Yes I can't make single click work, or change the colors when you press
Shift-F10, but you can ask Laurent to add an option for that.

This only happens if you forgot to install Win-Test, and run Win-Test, with
by selecting "Run as an Administrator," as recommended.

Right click on the Win-Test shortcut, *Properties*, *Compatibility* tab,
enable *Run this program as an administrator*, and click *Apply* and *OK*. Now
Win-Test will update *C:\ProgramData\Win-test\Databases\vhf.dtb* instead of
the VirtualStore one (it's Windows security trying to prevent unauthorized
programs from overwriting files in protected folders).
