[Dx4win] Problem with ADIF export v8

[Mel]

I just checked the ADIF site and it only enumerates mode AMTORFEC. AMTOR 
Mode A is not using FEC, it detects framing errors and requests repeats, 
therefore AMTOR is definitely *NOT* AMTORFEC. Also, as you pointed out, 
AMTORFEC is not a valid mode for LotW. I have never even heard of 
calling AMTOR AMTORFEC... Somebody is confused... and it isn't me ;-)

The ADIF spec needs to be corrected.
