[Dx4win] ADIF Import question

[Scott Neader KA9FOX]

FYI, I see just yesterday on this list, one part of my question was 
addressed... how to remove the Frequency from being imported into the Notes 
field:

Still looking for any cleaner ways to get the name of the contest to import 
into Notes.

Thanks!
