[Dx4win] LOTW submission

[Jim Bowman]

Dear Kostas,
I believe there is no guarantee in step 3 that the selection of QSL's from
DX4WIN will necessarily match the selection of Pending Credits in LOTW. This
at least has been my experience. Because of this, I found that the only way
to reliably update the DX4WIN database was to list out the Pending Credits
in LOTW and manually update the Subm flag in the corresponding QSL's in
DX4WIN. It would be nice if  LOTW provided a download that included the
Pending Credit flag (as well as other info) and if DX4WIN allowed updating
based on this. Nice but not critical.

Jim, KS1J
