[WriteLog] Russian DX Contest log issues

[Bob Henderson]

Real time scoring is provided so we can assess our progress through an
event.  Wildly incorrect feedback is misleading and most unhelpful.

Fortunately I found other contest loggers provide for Cabrillo import.  I
exported my WL Cabrillo file then imported it to another logger where I
corrected my fudged RK and SE Q's.  Having done so my calculated score
increased by some 3 million points.

Not the best ad for WL.
