[chirp_users] CSV Partial Load

[Aubrey Turner]

Actually, spaces are allowed in CSVs (in general just about everything 
other than a COMMA is fine since it's the comma that separates the 
fields).  And, we see that line 33 is loading (which also has a space).

What I am seeing, however, is a lot more empty fields in line 34 than in 
the previous lines.  In particular, the warning from Chirp is for the 
'rtone' column that it can't convert the string to a float.  In line 33 
this appears to have a value of 88.5 while it's empty on line 34.  I 
suggest looking at the values for the tone columns to see why these are 
blank (and/or why Chirp is expecting a value there).

I also see from the history of this email chain that  you're using Excel 
to edit the CSV.  Excel is notorious for munging CSV files. You may want 
to use a text editor of some kind instead of Excel to make sure that the 
fields aren't getting messed up when the file is saved.
