[Elecraft] Changing the default CW sideband with Logger32

[Steve Ellington]

I figures that you ZL guys would use CW-Rev and prefer hearing the pitch go 
down as the frequency goes up. Up here above the equator, the default 
setting, CW,  seems more natural to us. Now tell me, do whirlpools, 
hurricanes and toilet swirlies really run counterclockwise down there as 
some say?
Anyway, I'm glad you found the cure. I also use Logger32 for general 
logging. It and the K3 get along quiet well. 73
