[WriteLog] Sprint module

[WA9ALS - John]

You have it correct, Larry - Mine behaves the same.  If there are less than
3 intervening QSOs, the name of a previously-worked station auto-fills.  If
there are 3 or more intervening QSOs, then the name does not auto-fill.  Oh
well, should be easy for Wayne to fix, but not critical for the contest.  73
