OOPS -- Re: [Dx4win] DX4Win preferences for connecting to the new QRZ.COM

[Larry Gauthier (K8UT)]

I was wrong. The previous preferences setting for QRZ.COM, 
HTTP://WWW.QRZ.COM/ still works fine. I am not sure why that stopped working 
for me last week (operator error), but there is no reason for anyone to 
change their DX4Win settings.
