[Dx4win] Additional Search Features

[Joe - WL7M]

Thanks for your clarification, Steve.  Seems that what should be understood 
is that when I, as a DXer, participate in a contest, I'd just like to send 
in my log with as minimal fuss as possible.  I've "won" contests for my 
section/state with as few as 5 QSOs.  That's pretty casual.  Yup - they are 
contest specific.  Sure would be nice if there was the option to have at 
least a few "major" contests supported.  My 2 cents........YMMV.
73,
