[ADXA] Lotw question

[Dennis Schaefer]

Lotw problem solved - George Cotton and Dave Jacques suggested that I
re-install TQSL from the web site and that worked.  I went into the old
TQSL and made a backup of my certificates, QTH's, etc but it wasn't
needed.

I think the problem is that Lotw has worked in the background so
effortlessly I had no idea how to do things.  Once I set DXlab up to
communicate with it, I just pushed a button or two and I was caught up.

Thanks for the help, George and Dave!
