[WriteLog] TRIATHLON DX Contest

[Gary AL9A]

Sounds like a great contest Kostas.  Glad you have announced your plans well 
in advance so that Steve will be able to find time to put together a new WL 
contest module for this one!  Right Steve?  Or is there another WL module 
that could be used for this one?

73,
Gary AL9A
