	*General Information

			XPCOM incorporates a powerful internal logging function.
			Many of the log entry items are automatically done
			depending on the mode of operation.


			The following information is ALWAYS entered for you.


			1.	Station Call Sign.

					The station call is entered by using the F2 key or
					in Packet or Pactor upon connect.

			2.	AMTOR Selcal

					XPCOM automatically calculates the correct AMTOR
					Selcal when the call sign has been entered via the
					F2 Key or upon connect in Packet or Pactor.

			3.	Current Time in UTC.

			4.	Current Date in UTC.

			5.	Default 599 Signal reports.


			Additionally,  if you have AutoSearch selected ( see operating
			parameters information under Setup Menu) any information
			from a previous QSO will be carried over to the new entry.
			This will carry over Comments, Name and QTH.

			If you are using SAMS Radio Callbook,  the Name and QTH
