[Ham-Mac] fldigi and aether log qso script

[Dick Kriss]

Since the posting this morning, Alan k2ack at arrl.net  has made some adjustments 
to his script.  I suggest  you get the latest script at

https://github.com/muonzoo/ham-utils

Also, note the addition he suggested to the Log in Aether macro to prevent it from locking
up fldigi when Aether was not active.

k2ack> You can work around the lockup by adding an '&' to the end of the EXEC macro phrase, like this:

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

 I have updated my fldigi-aether-logger.py file and added the & to the macro statement and
Alan's script works FB.
