[Ham-Mac] fldigi and aether log qso script

[Dick Kriss]

Alan K2ACK,

Thanks for the very nice script that lets Mac fldigi users log direct to Aether.

The only problem I encountered was how to download from the github. On the
first try I missed seeing the download button and when I did a Safari right-click 
on the file listed, it saved the file in html format.  I got frustrated trying to 
download the .py file and just did it using the old fashion Mac copy/paste from
the github page to new BBEdit file. On the second try, the download button 
worked.

Based on a tip from Andrew, AC7CF, I placed your fldigi-aether-logger.py file 
in my .fldigi/scripts folder and modified the fldigi macro statement to read:

<EXEC>$HOME/.fldigi/scripts/fldigi-aether-logger.py</EXEC>

The above works perfect - provided Aether is open and running before you click
on the "Log to Aether" macro.   

I normally log QSO's using to the built-in fldigi Logbook and after some time, I 
export the QSO for upload to LoTW and to my permanent Aether log. Your script 
provides the option to log direct to Aether. I know several fldigi users have asked 
for this option and will be pleased.

Thanks for the support to both fldig and Aether.
