[WriteLog] %B

[Gary AL9A]

There is another undocumented use of %B, at least in RTTY.  If you program 
an F key memory location with %B and then during a contest enter a call but 
can't break his pileup hitting the F key with %B puts the call onto the Band 
Map.  Not sure if this works in CW or not.
