[Logic] Help with LOGIC 6

[Sante - IK0HBN]

Thank you Art.
I followed all the things you wrote and everything went fine. I even add 
another 2 USERFIELDS (for serial TX/RX during contest) and hope to have 
automatically the report sent/received in the proper fields. The first 54k 
qso's were hand copied...so making the job automatic is very interesting...-))
Thank you for your support.

ps. IMHO on PDA site there would be ALWAYS the chance of getting downloaded 
the VALID VALUE upgraded at present time. With IOTA the only list should be 
NOT enough to avoid to pay the 10 USD, but it could save a lot of frustation..
