[Dx4win] import contest log and then upload to LOTW using 7.03?

[Tom LeClerc W1TJL]

Has anyone heard from Paul about the Kenwood control that broke in
this latest version??  I sent the note to him but haven't heard
anything back...  It's quite annoying and has caused me to beon the
wrong transmit frequency a couple of times now...
