[WriteLog] AA5AU WriteLog Website Update

[Don Hill AA5AU]

If you use DXTelnet to send spots to WL, then you can filter spots.
Within DXTelnet, set your filter to send only spots containing the words
"rtty" or "wpx".  You will miss spots that don't contain these words, but
most people put these words in the comments section.

Or you can filter the spots by frequency range.  This may be better, but
you will get anything spotted within the range you set.  CW and SSB spots on
40M will also be sent through if they fall within the range set, such as 7030-7100 khz.

To find out how to use DXTelnet with WL on a single computer, check out
http://www.qsl.net/wa9als/dxtelnet.htm.  To find out how to run DXTelnet to
WL over a LAN check out http://www.geocities.com/writelog/.
