[Dx4win] Internet Callsign Lookup

[Art - W6KY]

The way I print Direct cards with address labels is
I make the call I worked the manager..
N6CW via N6CW     N6CW in the QSL MGR box
and I get an address label..
Kinda hokie, but I AM sending it via N6CW  HI HI

For QSL managers I use IK3QAR
http://www.ik3qar.it/manager/man_result.php?call=
is my string in 'callsign lookup address'  ..
