[Dx4win] New application note: Adding a New Entity

[F6EXV]

Hi all
I was one of the ops in St Barth in 1978 (30 years ago...), as well as 
the QSL manager.
All QSO were confirmed via bureau then, even without a request received.
I can also mention we used another call during that operation : 
FG0DWT/FS, also from Saint Barth.
Whoever might have worked us then and has a computer log for that can 
check it for NA-146.
