[UK-CONTEST] Log robot

[Dave Sergeant]

Well it looks like I didn't loose too many QSOs by abandoning ship in 
the Low Power at 1330z after being drenched in a downpour... And 
apologies to a couple of people in the morning session when my paddle 
got drenched in rain and started sending dots by itself, never seen 
that before...

I agree with what Stewart says, though I appreciate it probably won't 
happen, especially with the LP event where the 'claimed score' 
generated by some loggers may bear no resemblence to the real score.

I notice the robot prompts for a club name for all contests, not just 
those that have a club element. I selected 'none', but would it be more 
sensible to only prompt for this for contests that offer a club 
standing (AFS league or whatever).

And look forward to the UBN's for the LP contest. Paper log with a biro 
which didn't like writing on damp paper, I would be surprised if there 
weren't a few errors in it..
