[NLRS] Man vs machine

[Clare Jarvis]

Because of my being below average terrain I typically work good weather 
contests as both a fixed station and a rover.   The robot does not 
automatically distinguish rover logs for fixed station logs.   I think it is 
primarily a problem with the leagues email system and the robot that cannot 
handle call suffixes    /rover /r etc.   If they would just fix that then 
when the rover logs are loaded into the scoring system, the rest of the 
process works fine.      This is not a problem for HF contests because 
stations can only submit one log.   I think we need to campaign and convince 
the league to fixed the robot.   We should not have this problem where we 
have to jump through ridiculous hoops to get valid logs submitted.

Lets lobby Tom at the ARRL Contest branch for more investment in a robot that 
works correctly.
