Hi Paul

Not sure that I like the idea of removing the SS from the ADIF output whilst
logging programs tend not to display the secs I suspect that they use them
in their sorting process.

My main station logging program traps entries with the same time and asks
for a sec to be added.

My view is that secs are very important if you want your QSOs in the log
book in the correct order especially if you have a good run in a contest
without serial nos.  According to the .RTE file, during the ARIL DX I
managed to get 4 hours at over 120 and 8 hours at over 60 so without the
secs I may end up with up to 12 hours of QSOs in a random order.

I guess this is a plea to you to put the SS back in!!

Thanks for the fix in the type 10.
