Merge logs to merge you contest logs into your DXpedition log, but it may
not work.  Experiment using backup copies of your .WT4 file.

Win-Test does not support this, and I don't see a way to do it in a
script.  About the best a script could do is tell you if the callsign in
the logging window is also in master.scp, but you would have to press a key
to start the search.  The answer would be displayed in a Pop-Up window, and
you'd have to press Escape to close it.  So it would work like my
"SearchXDT" script at https://bit.ly/wtscripts.  A few small modifications
to that script would work.  But I don't know if you'd be happy with the
result.
