[Cwo] all missiles have been launched

Chuck,

A couple of questions:

1.  What happens with multiple log files from the same guy?  He sends in his
log, then later sends it in again with some correction.

2.  What happens with a non-Cabrillo log .. or one that is screwed up?  I
can probably play with this and see what happens. On the assumption that we
will be receiving all logs via email (the web based submission is not
working at this time), there will be no top level format checking of logs.

3.  I presume you look up all files that have the .log extension and process
them.  Can you create a file of calls that were processed?  That would be
useful. Not a big deal, but useful.  This needs to be done somewhere along
the line, as well as a file of ALL received calls from all logs sorted
alphabetically (we'll cull that list for busted calls manually).

4.  The separation of obviously bad QSOs is good. However, I'm not sure how
useful it will be.  I think it might be more useful to add a flag to the QSO
in the log extraction file (P1, P2, P3) like this:

QSO: 80 CW 2011-08-21 0005 K5MPO 22 AL N3JT 79 JIM ERROR: INVALID TIME

That way the log stays intact and further processing can key on that flag
for scoring.
Further processing can then add similar flags for bad NR, bad NAME, NIL,
etc.
