[RTTY] PROBLEMS WITH MAKROTHEN MODULE IN WL

[DickT-W0RAA]

I think the problem is the macrothen module that Wrtelog uses.  As Don Hill 
told me,
it's not native to Writelog and it does strange things.  It would be nice if 
somebody
would write a contest module for Writelog that would work correctly in the
Makrothen contest.

I couldn't get staions to highlight in color in WL but they did in 2Tone.
