 * *Log QSO* raises a dialog window pre-filled with known information
 about a QSO you have nearly completed.  You can edit or add to this
 information before clicking *OK* to log the QSO.  If you check *Prompt

-confirmation screen automatically when you send a message containing
-+RRR+ or +73+.  *Start Date* and *Start Time* are set when you
-click to send the *Tx 2* or *Tx 3* message, and backed up by one or
-two sequence lengths, respectively.  (Note that the actual start time
-may have been earlier if repeats of early transmissions were
