[Trlog] Cabrillo format....

Two cabrillo examples.

The first 20 Qs are from our CQP N6A operation using TRLog. Notice the wandering 
columns. In the second example, which is preferable, the columns are all neatly 
lined up. Not sure which logging program formatted this cabrillo output.

I wonder if it is possible to make TRLog format the columns neatly like the WK5K 
cabrillo log data?
