[LOGic] QSL LABEL PRINTING

[K0DAN]

Thanks Bill...

I failed to QSL your tip previously.

I ended up fixing the problem manually. It was the long way around, but 
simplest, and I just did it.

Hopefully next time I have to print a big batch of cards, I'll remember to 
print the addres labels first!

All's well now.

Thx es 73
