[Dx4win] New IOTA group announced

[Jim Reisert AD1C]

NOTE: You won't be able to change existing PJ2 QSOs (post-10/10/10) to
IOTA SA-099 until after the new country file is released.  However,
you can change PJ4/PJ5/PJ6/PJ7 now:

    PJ4 = SA-006 (Island name = Bonaire)
    PJ5 = NA-145 (Island name = St. Eustatius)
    PJ6 = NA-145 (Island name = Saba)
    PJ7 = NA-105
