OH1KH e02c2e9386 Some help fixes
Added a splash message that appears if log does not have
	station callsign set (I.E. is a new log)
	It will clear out some things good to know when starting
	cqrlog usage.

	Fixed help files part "supported rigs". There is no mind to
	list rigs suppoetd by Hamlib ver 3 as developing is fast and
	soon version 5 will be released.

Backup your data often! BACKUP your log directory at the end of EVERY session!
All that you need to backup and store in a safe place is the log database directory
located in the ~/.config/cqrlog/database folder, or you can enable the autobackup function
in Preferences. This autobackup function creates an ADIF file with a backup of your log.

<strong><h2>Supported radio types</h2></strong>
<br>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The actual list of supported radios depends on the hamlib version, not Cqrlog itself.
You can obtain the actual list using the command terminal with:
<pre>
rigctld --list
</pre>
Remember, the <i>rigctld</i> executable must be on your path that it usually is after installation.<br>
There's no standardized protocol to remotely control one's rig, be it a Ham radio
transceiver, a SWL receiver, any kind of scanner or other mobile.
Many manufacturers have designed their own proprietary protocol, implemented in
some of their product family. Therefore, each rig family will require a Hamlib
backend to set the VFO frequency, change mode and passband width, get current
signal strength, etc.
<br><br>Communication between Hamlib(rigctld) and Cqrlog is standardized and when Hamlib supports your rig Cqrlog will also support it.
<br>Note that with Hamlib, as well as with Cqrlog, package maintainers very often offer old versions to install. That's why it is recommended to compile both from source code that is available from github.com. That way you will get the latest versions for use.

<strong><font color="blue">Note:</font></strong> If your radio is not on the list,
it does not mean that it is not supported at all. The Elecraft K3 radio works as K2
(Rig# 221), you could also try one of the Kenwood radios. The Ten-Tec Omni-VI uses the
Icom IC-735 backend.
