[Dx4win] External database verses qrz.com on the internet.

[Joe - WDØM]

Ahhhh, but if you take a look at Logger 32, a freeware logging program, 
you'll see that it automatically looks up a callsign on the internet 
through QRZ.com and places it in your logging fields - automatically - no 
intervention required other than entering the callsign.  Magic.  Wish that 
would happen in DX4WIN.  No CDROM, no "steps" required - just enter the 
callsign....and it's free.
