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

[Ed Muns]

There are instructions in the introduction at the top of the survey for
using LotW for your needs list.  On the LotW website, you can prefix sort
all your LotW and paper QSLs credited to DXCC.  Then, it is easy to transfer
to the survey which is also prefix sorted.

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)...
