Yep, guys, I'm convinced -- this will work great! I did not realize I could get the group NAME to appear in the log, or in the same call window. This will work nicely!!!
Having the "CONTEST_ID" import directly into the "Notes For This QSO" would still be nice, but Group Numbers & Names will get it done for me.
