Ken makes a good point.  There is a way to "disable" selected logbook input
fields so DX4WIN will skip over them during QSO entry.  This means you could
simply enter the call, date, time, band and mode, then save the QSO.  If you
want to save a little more time, tell DX4WIN the default band/mode is 40 meter
CW and enter all your 40 meter CW QSOs at the same time.  This means you just
have to enter the call, date and time.  Then change the default band/mode and
enter *those* QSOs.
