[Dx4win] Newbie User Question on Importing

[Paul van der Eijk]

Mark,

Version 7.02 just released and a free upgrade for you will do two things for
you in this context.
1. It removes the seconds from the time comparison between the two logs
 
2. It creates a text file containing the basic info about the QSOs that were
   confirmed in the ADIF file but could not be found in your existing log.

However, there are 47 additional entries in the LOTW ADIF file than in my DX4WIN log.   I assumed the 47 additional QSOs would just be added to the DX4WIN log,  but they are  ignored.
