[NLRS] NLRS Log Challenge

[EAJacobson]

Just remember that even if the program "writes the data to the disk", it is 
up to the O/S to actually do the work, and most will be caching the data 
before actually recording the magnetic impulses on the disk (the reason 
Microsoft strongly suggests a disk check after an improper shutdown).

For the contest, I am thinking I will have some folks out to W0JH for the 
contest, and will probably hand out some FM Q's (ABCDE) while I traveling 
back and forth...I'll log them this year, and submit that log, too.
