[ct-user] Talk Window (Alt-G) Station ID?

[David Robbins K1TTT]

The station names are defined in a file called multi.cfg.  it is  a text
file that you can change to assign names to your stations before the
contest.  There is no dynamic way to have them track bands.  The file
should look like this:

1 80
2 10
3 40
4 20
5 160
6 15
7 UPSTAIRS
8 SPOT

where the first column is the station number then a space then the name
you want it to show as in the gab window.
