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

[Julio VE3FH]

Thanks Ed but I do not use LoTW and I have never applied for any DXCC Award.

Fortunately I manually enter my DX totals in a backup Excel file so after
some tweaking I ended up with a fairly up to date count, more than a few
surprises...

73,
Julio VE3FH
