[Dx4win] Pre 1975 CW DXCC confirmations

[Dx4win] Pre 1975 CW DXCC confirmationsPaul,

Thank you for your input on this 'problem'.  And I thank you, as I'm
sure do many others, for your willingness to make an effort to correct
this.

As a new user I'm not sure I would categorize this as a 'critical' issue
but one that is a very important aspect of an otherwise terrific
product.  As to why this issue has been raised to some importance now I
cannot answer.  But perhaps it has something to do with the ever
increasing install base of the product.  As more and more people, here
in the States and overseas, use the product more people are becoming
aware of the problem.  This would be especially true of those users who
have been at the DX game for quite a long time as I have.  I would
venture to say that some of the not so old DXers aren't even aware of
the CW DXCC start date and would not benefit at all if the additional
support is added.  It seems clear now that there are enough of us DXers
that have been at it for some time to warrant making the necessary
changes.  In my opinion delaying these changes will, over time, continue
to raise the noise level as more users come on board.

Thanks for your past and continuing efforts.

Jerry  N8BM

I have been looking at this, and I'm not sure yet how easy/difficult
this change will be.

It is interesting to note though that DX4WIN had this problem for
nine years and it suddenly rises to the top is a critical issue.
