[WriteLog] Multi 2 logging

[WA9ALS - John]

Yes, the log can show which COMPUTER logged the QSO
(http://www.qsl.net/wa9als/log.gif), but I don't know how you will show
which RADIO made the QSO in your setup.  Also, in SO2R on a single computer,
you can log which radio made the QSO, but I don't see how you will indicate
the radio in the proposed setup.
