[MacLoggerContest] Re: MacLoggerDX signal reports

Don

this sounds like a neat solution. Could you create scripts like this?

F1: six tabs to get to the SRX field.
F2: log QSO, clear fields (except STX and RST fields) and return cursor 
to blank callsign field.

This would really make MLDX a very useful general purpose contest 
program too without any impact on DXers.
