[CQ-Contest] Logging Software Automation For Antenna Rotators

While the innovative work of those writing logging software and building 
automation hardware to help us push the limits, one feature I purposely 
do NOT use is automation of antenna rotators. Why not? Simple -- If I'm 
running and I hear a station calling me, it's obvious that we both hear 
each other. While running to the east coast or to JA, I often hear 
callers off the back of my antenna. The only times I'm going to turn the 
antenna (or switch to a different one that hears that caller better) is 
if I'm having trouble copying him, or if I decide I want to to run in a 
different direction.
