[WriteLog] Delay Using Fkeys

[Kostas SV1DPI]

So almost nothing common...
Except the installation directory (?)
I use a microham interface with winkeyer2 (digikeyer) and an Icom 756 
pro2 radio in contest shack.
No antivirus is installed (I use the computer only for contesting).

The most strange is that I had not this freeze at all during rtty 
roundup in the same computer (the only difference that I used a homemade 
interface).

I have not noticed this freeze in my home shack which is similar (i3 
computer with windows 7 but full of programs,antivirus) and where I use 
a microham interface also (mk2r+)
