Teijo,

I'm using the latest release 7.02(.15). I don't know how v6.04 is 
different when importing.

If Paul is reading this could you add one more multiple QSO operation. 
I'd like to see one that would clear Upl Cnf to N so I wouldn't have to 
go through all the hazzle to export to adif and import back to Dx4win to 
clear the Upl Cnf and Upload Date -fields.
