v1.83 - JARL allja, JARL acag, & K1USN sst

[w7sst]

Summary

This fourth release of Morse Runner Community Edition added three more contests. We have added 8 contests so far with several more in the works.

We wish to thank Muto JR8PPG for his hard work coding the JARL All Japan contest and in addition the JARL All Cities All Guns contest.
Bruce K1BG shared with us the CWOPS training team's desire to add the K1USN Slow Speed Test. They wished to add Farnsworth so that the cw character speed remains at 25 wpm for the beginner classes that send slower. The Farnsworth spacing is only available for the K1USN SST to maintain our original program's intent to be a contesting simulator. Big thanks to Mike W7SST, for programming the SST contest and retooling to add Farnsworth spacing. Mike W7SST added nonmember exchanges for the CWOPS CWT contest. The full list of changes is below.
