[CQ-Contest] 599

[Zack Widup]

I like the way CT handles this. If you use the space bar to switch between
fields, it skips the "59(9)" and automatically fills it. If you use the TAB
key, it will include the signal report column for your entry. It still puts
in 59(9) but you can enter it.
I haven't used too many other logging programs. Maybe others do something
similar?
