[Dx4win] changes of zone without asking me!

[Mel]

I just set the Import preferences to show differences and ask by 
default. That way you can review any mismatches and choose DX4Win or the 
import data.

The program erroneously and immaturely saw the 4 in the W4 and thought it belongs in the zone where most W4's are normally  are.   NOT!  With the advent of any call for any area, many hams do not represent the geographical state that their call would normally stand for.  Another example: W2VKT from Arizona in Zone 3 got changed to, guess what, Zone 5 because of the W2 in his call.
