[RTTY] Upside-down RTTY contest QSO's

If you are using N1MM and the ESM feature (common for RTTY operation setup), 
the default the program will pick once you have the run guy's call loaded is 
to send your call (correct in the sequence).  But if you have anticipated 
the exchange and loaded it in, N1MM moves the pointer over to the exchange 
(which is what these guys are sending).  The execution in both cases is the 
same (right click).  That may be where this is coming from in the N1MM case. 
It's not a program issue though - it's an operator error issue because the 
N1MM/ESM flow works perfect if you are driving it correctly.

Somewhere along the way, in the past few months, I picked up the impression
that one of the contest loggers had this exchange "style" as a default, and
that that is why we are seeing it more.

I know it isn't Writelog, but I don't know if it is or isn't N1MM+ or
something else. Maybe someone familiar with other loggers can look into it.
