Last weekend I tested LOG4OM with K1EL support with a few hundred QSOs in CQ WW CW contest. I have a few feature suggestions:
1. In contest mode enabled (F4) the button "search previous QSO in this contest only" should be switched on by default. I forgot to enable this button at the start which results in dupes.
2. When feeding the K1EL window from DX-Cluster by double click it would be nice that this window is already active so that the macros are immediately usable. Also it would help when the cursor is already in the "Contest RCVD" field in the CW Log mode. The sent and rcvd fields are in contest normally 599 and can be skipped without disadvantage.
3. It would also help in the contest hectic when in contest mode the tab-key in the CW Log mode of the K1EL window would directly jump to the "Contest RCVD" field.
4. It would be nice when on the upper right where distance, beam directions, DXCC, locator, IOTA etc is shown, also the CQ-Zone shows up. This is not only interesting for this contest but also for WAZ-hunting.
K1EL support really works great and i appreciate it very much! Thank you Daniele!

Hi Terry,
thank you so much! I think these features will improve operation in CW contests and will increase the acceptance to use LOG4OM in CW contests.
I hope these changes will not need too much programming work for Daniele.

A bit, but almost everything can be re-used on V2...
