[Trlog] Changing Auto QSL Interval on the fly

Before I started using auto qsl interval I used to just hit Esc once the 
TU had been sent, thus aborting the sending of the rest of the stuff.  
However, I found that I wasn't very consistent with this and sometimes 
went 5 or 6 Qs with no ID.  So I like the automated approach for its 
consistency.
