[CQ-Contest] saving us from ourselves

don't feel bad, i did this the morning after working 40m.  i forgot the radio was set to split and for the life of me could not figure out why the VI station couldn't hear me.  a loud 4 letter word was heard by the XYL as i realized my error.  i checked the 40m freq to see if i needed to apologize, but luckily it was clear (to me).  

the main reason that happened was the placement of the radio and the computer monitor.  i'm switching to a laptop for my contest logging as is takes up much less space and looks good above the radio.  i also have an index card with the band edges minus the side band and a tad extra for good measure.  the index card now sports the words CHECK SPLIT DUMBY!
