DX4WIN imports and exports the new fields (LoTW, eQSL, Satellite,
Frequency, Name, QTH, IOTA Island, etc.) to ADIF.

I don't think that Paul's going to make any changes in this area.  For
a long time, I have been connecting via the VE7CC "Cluster User"
program.  Once that's connected to the cluster node, I have "LOCAL" at
the top of my DX4WIN.TCP list, so three ENTERS in the DX4WIN Packet
window and I'm connected!  VE7CC has code for retry-on-disconnect,
etc.  See:
