Frankly I think it's folly to try and keep track of names and locations 
for these kinds of stations. If you copy forward the data always becomes 
questionable. That information belongs in QSO notes... that's what it's 
for.

Note to Paul... if you ever even THINK of changing this... make it an 
configurable preference ;-)

BTW, for Grid... it would be an interesting feature if we had a drop 
down list of grid squares previously logged for a station. Most VHF 
clubs tend to repetitively activate the same grids... wherever the 
highest local mountain is... at the bottom of the job jar though.

VE2DC, Mel.
