[Dx4win] Fw: LOTW, DX4WIN and contest logs

I use a Group per Contest in managing my log and NK7U's log. This allows me
to print a note on each card refering to each contest. For instance: "Thanks
for QSO in 2009 ARRL DX SSB Contest". By using Group numbers the Group Name
is automatically applied to each QSO. And the Group number can be assigned
to QSO's during the log import process so it is a very quick and easy
process.
Using the "Notes for this QSO" field would also work but you would have to
enter each contest name individually or somehow create them in a batch mode
in the log before the import process.
We are still a ways from using up all the Group Numbers -- 254 will last a
while. I also like AD1C's idea of using a Group Number for each Contest, and
not worrying about the date. So for instance Group 54 could refer to all
ARRL DX SSB contests. This is very simple and useful.
