I think Michael has something here. DX4WIN looks for the most recent QSO's=
=20
for submission. Well, I have a file box that I have been placing all of my=
=20
new DXCC countries QSL Cards in since i was licensed. That means the box=20
has the first QSO with a "new" country confirmed in it. There are 293 cards=
=20
in that box. I also did the same thing with 10 meter WAS when I was a=20
novice. I have never submitted for an award. So it would be nice if you=20
could make DX4WIN look both ways (either first confirmed or last=20
confirmed). I'm sure I am not the only one who has sorted his DXCC=20
countries this way. I also have 5BDXCC confirmed, 5BWAZ (189 worked 185=20
confirmed) and close to 5BWAS worked,(Not really chasing this one). All of=
=20
these cards are just in file boxes and not in any order other than DX and=20
State side.
So, can it be done that way? If not, how about in the next version. What do=
=20
the rest of you think? Sounds like a good plan to me.
