[WriteLog] IOTA entry field

[Clive Whelan]

Hi

In the IOTA contest, I found that e.g. ( my ref.) EU5 is not 
accepted, and EU005 is demanded. In practice, most Gs will send 
you EU5 *not* EU005, in the same way that these days, in the 
CQWW, a W1 invariably sends zone 5 as opposed to 05 as was 
traditional. The QSL message is sent but the contact is *not* 
logged, displaying a format error.In the heat of the battle I 
think this is likely to be pretty troublesome

This is not unworkable but is a tad tedious for islands with 
single digit references. There doesn't seem to be a way around 
this in Contest/Exchange format, and I assume the format is 
embedded somewhere impenetrable. Is this intended I wonder?
