[Dx4win] LOTW, DX4WIN and contest logs

[Alan Zack]

Thanks Paul, that is good news.

I did read Jim's comments on limiting the amount of Groups used by 
assigning each category of contests (ARRLDX, CQWWDX, etc) a Group number 
then further sort/filter by the date. But I have already assigned many 
years of contests their own Group name (2009 ARRLDXCW, 2008 CQWWDXSSB, 
etc) and this is what is printed on the bottom line of my labels. With 
additional Group names being available in the future I will be able to 
continue this practice.

Bill, thanks for the KH6 mult/points in the ARRLDX.

73
