[UK-CONTEST] CTJ for Jubilee Contest

[HYDES,ALAN (HP-Unitedkingdom,ex2)]

A couple of points...

The issue with using software that does not correctly support 
a contest is usually not just the scoring, but the tracking of 
multipliers during the contest.  This is especially important 
for multi-op contests like IOTA where the mult station needs to 
be up to date with needed mults.

A Cabrillo format would need to be defined for each contest.
Using IOTA as an example again, the position and length of fields 
for serial number and IOTA ref would need to be the same 
regardless of what logging software was used.
