[CQ-Contest] WRTC glitches

[Mike Gilmer, N2MG]

I don't think I'd want to be the one to tell a WRTC competitor who has 
used CT for 10 years that he has to learn TRLog or SuperDuper or 
whatever.  I believe it's pretty much the same reasoning behind letting 
the ops choose their own radios.

But I agree that the software should have been tested...alas.  It'll be 
interesting to see just what the bug was.
