[Dx4win] Finding things to submit through LOTW

[Kelly Johnson]

Submissions to ARRL no longer require a contact list.  This is only
required now if your cards are checked at a convention or by an
authorized field card checker.  As I understand it, the requirement is
that multiple QSO cards be placed at the end of the list.  I plan to
have my cards checked this Saturday and I can report back if there is
an issue with my list.  I am not providing a list direct from DX4WIN.
I have imported my list from DX4WIN into EXCEL and I have modified it
to put the multiple QSO cards at the end of the list.  There is no way
for DX4WIN to do this because it doesn't know what confirmations are
on the same QSL card.  I'm sure it would be possible to do this, but
it may not be pretty in the DX4WIN GUI.  It didn't take me too long to
edit the DX4WIN list in EXCEL to put the multiple QSO cards at the
end.

The much bigger problem I ran into was the DX4WIN always searches
backwards from the current date and picks the most recent QSO.  This
causes the DX4WIN list to have lots of confirmations from single-Q
cards that could have been submitted from a multi-Q card.  Once again,
there's no way for DX4WIN to do anything better unless it knows what
confirmations are grouped together on a single card.
