I’d like to see POTA supported as well, but not a priority…

I reached out to this ham to thank him for the idea and where to find the files. He wrote back:

Hello Scott,

Thanks for your email. I was unaware that there are efforts to add a SOTA-friendly option to Morse Runner. I still use Morse Runner to help me cope better with two or more chasers sending callsigns simultaneously. So, I look forward to seeing that feature in a future version.

I know POTA deserves it's own issue but I believe these two "contests" would be similar to add to the next release of MRCE. So I added POTA to this issue.

We have had overwhelming support to add POTA from the discussions: tekenny above, K6OK, WR7Q, myself and W7SST. Let's get to work. :)
