[RTTY] 2016 Digital Mode Most Wanted Survey - Session Timeouts

[Julio VE3FH]

Creating a wanted list was the first thing I tried as soon as the survey was
released but I'm using Winlog32 for general logging and that feature is
broken, it has been broken for a while, the last time I was able to do so
was back in Oct 2005... I will have to get creative and do some manual
parsing...

If anyone has any tips I'm all ears (I mean eyes)...

73,
Julio VE3FH
