[Dx4win] Re: [dx-list] LOTW none-US stations

[Alan C. Zack]

What about USA stations who at times go to a DX locations and use
their home call with a portable designation?  About every other year I
go to the Philippines and operate from there for the CQWWDX or ARRL 10
mtr SSB.  I have a portable DU Permit from the Phil NTC.  DX4WIN uses
a coding system so I know which of the contacts in my log are for what
contest and therefore for which call, be it K6ACZ (Home QTH) or
DU/K6ACZ (Phil QTH).  But when I send in my log how will the program
be able to determine which log entries are from home or portable?  How
will that W2 station that worked me on 80 mtrs when I was in Manila be
able to match his log up with mine to have the contact confirmed with
DU/K6ACZ mixed in with all the straight K6ACZ log entries?
