[ct-user] New version of CT to ADIF coming - comments?

[R Johnson]

Hi Jim:
Are you talking about the "Contest ID" in the header or putting a
"Contest ID" in each record ?

If none of these changes effect the Header as currently written and
we can still simply use "C2A XYZ" to produce a "Plain Vanilla" file
the same as in V3.2, it will be FB for me.
