[Dx4win] changing call sign

[Larry Gauthier (K8UT)]

One of the things I have done is insert a bogus QSO, with my own call, in 
the log every time there is a significant change. After entering the QSO I 
use the "Notes for this QSO" field to record the event. (oh, and I also mark 
it as an invalid QSO)

So, if I set the filter/search for callsign = "K8UT", DX4WIN displays QSOs 
with notes like "received new vanity callsign, new tower erected this date, 
bought new PW-1 amplifier, installed new Gem quad, added multiband vertical, 
replaced rig with Icom 756 Pro II..."

Without a paper log this is my solution for recording station changes.
