[LOGic] Default Antenna and/or Rig by band or frequency

I was looking for a way to have the correct antenna automatically log 
when I changed bands. Deniis suggested I use the ICASE command in the 
Defaults section.

Here is how you can do it for your own antennas / rigs:
1. Have the log form you want to use it on open

2. From top menu on the log form click "Log"

3. Choose the last option "Setup"

4. The "Log Form Setup" dialog box will open

5. Choose the "Default" tab

6. In the "Field" column choose "ANT (USER)"

7. In the "Expressions" cloumn either use the expression builder or type 
or paste in your expression

8. Mine was ICASE(LOG.FREQ=<6.90 , "SLOPER ALPHA-DELTA",   
LOG.BAND="40M" , "HF2V VERTICAL",  LOG.FREQ>55.1, "COMET- VERTICAL" ,  
"XP-508 SOMMER BEAM" )

9. A simpler example would be: ICASE(LOG.FREQ=<13.9 , "DIPOLE",   
LOG.FREQ>=14.0, "BEAM" )

10. When done, Click OK

11. You can do similar for RIG(USER)

12. Remember LOG.BAND="xxM" are text values so the sort order for > or < 
expressions would be 10M, 12M, 160M, 17M. 2M, 20M, 30M, 40M, 6M, 60M, 
70CM, 80M, etc. so it probably easier to use LOG.BAND="xxM" when you 
want a single band and LOG.FREQ=<x.xx (which are numerical values) when 
you want a range of bands.

13. I think the same would work for Power levels for various bands 
and/or rigs
