[NLRS] 222 MHz and Up Logging

[Zack Widup]

That was stated in the rules so I figgered everyone knew that. What
wasn't stated in the rules was the name of the contest as entered in
the Cabrillo file. I had to find that out by entering my log and
having a pop-up window tell me to select from the following contests
it listed.

73, Zack W9SZ
