[Dx4win] Import Abort - Duplicate QSO's

[Jim Reisert AD1C]

OK, I was thinking of a VHF contest (which is really the only time log
import would become an issue), and did find this rule, which would
seem to prohibit grid-line operation in all ARRL VHF contests (50 MHz
and above):

  http://www.arrl.org/general-rules-for-arrl-contests-on-bands-above-50-mhz

"1.11.A station located precisely on a dividing line between grid
squares must select only one as the location for exchange purposes. A
different grid-square multiplier cannot be given without moving the
complete station (including antennas) at least 100 meters."

So I stand by my claim that although Paul could make the change (check
VUCC grid when importing a possible duplicate QSO), it probably isn't
necessary.
