[CQ-Contest] Please remember the scientific experiment August 21

[David Siddall]

N1MM+ has a module specifically for the SEQP.  Select "Eclipse".  Also,
there will be a tool for uploading logs on the SEQP website.

Finally, consider using CW, or a digital mode such as WSPR, JT-65, or FT8.
These signals will be captured automatically at many reception points and
reported to the scientific community with or without submitting an SEQP log.

   - N1MM+ <https://n1mm.hamdocs.com/> now has a built-in SEQP logging
   module. Simply select "ECLIPSE" for log type. (Thanks to Nick NA3M for
   coding this!)
      - *Bug notice: The signal report bug has been fixed. Please use N1MM+
      v1.0.6585 or later.*
   - Logs must be submitted by 2359 UTC Saturday, September 30, 2017.
   - A link to the log submission page for both SEQP and RBN logs will be
   posted here at the end of the SEQP.
