Tom,
The rig data should be automatic.
Go to online logging and enter a make believe QSO a couple of times with the
rig on different frequencies or bands.
Save with f12 or control S.
Go to browse log and you should see the entries.
Go to your C: drive and program files and the WSLog folder. Your log is
called myLog.log. Simply delete this file and your test log is gone.
I hope this helps.
