1.  The CDROM data is better integrated into DX4WIN.
    Using QRZ.COM takes too lookups vs one.

2.  If the Internet is down, you're stuck!

3.  By buying the data, you support the people who maintain it.

4.  If you have the disk space, copy the CDROM data
    to your hard drive, and lookups will be FAST.
    You can open the F3 window and step from QSO to QSO
    and the data is updated instantaneously.
