[Trlog] NAQP logs for ARRL logbook

[Fred Jensen]

It's still unclear to me why we need Cabrillo when ADIF is (sort of)
self-initializing.  Having a separate, unique QSO record format for each
contest seems a bit retro to me ...

PS:  I gave up on LOTW ... way too complicated for the time I have.  I
had problems with loading the software which involved it deleting and
replacing DLL's, and I don't know why.  I guess it would be ok if there
was a million bucks at the end of the "DXCC Survivor Amazon" program,
and security was everything, but I doubt that there is, and I doubt that
security at that level is really necessary.
