[WriteLog] Voice keyer delay

[ve2lx]

Gary

Tel him that I recorded 50 different SSB messages with windowsXP recorder in 
fact because there was a delay between the time I activate the message and 
the message transmission, and I first found that with my KAM TNC while in 
contest time seconds saved is major.

But we have to pay attention with windows recorder that sometime we start it 
too soon or we terminate it too soon wher e the message would be hard to be 
clearly readed
