[Dx4win] Keep track of IOTA and Russian oblast credits

[Mel SM0MPV]

Hello Kostas HNY and thanks for your answer.

I have changed the award flags in IOTA, RDA and Russian oblast contest
to both S for submitted and C for checked and neither turns up in the
reports as submitted or checked if not the QSL flag is set to Y. I am
using DX4WIN 8.04. I tried to uncheck all boxes in Awards|Confirmation
without success. So it seems like the problem is consistent for both
IOTA and Costume awards.

It would be very good for IOTA chasing if it in the IOTA window could
bee seen if an Island group has been checked or not. As is it is just
the ones that are confirmed with QSL that are seen as C, if not the
boxes for LotW or eQSL is marked. However, the latter is of no use
since neither confirmations through LotW nor eQSL accounts for IOTA
awards.

>> Hi,
>>
>> I know that I am back to an old topic but since it has presently been
>> possible to get credits for 2010 IOTA contest by uploading the
>> Cabrillo log I had to bring it up again. Uploading cabrillo logs is a
>> way to get credits for contacts that not have been QSLed. If tagging S
>> or C in the award fields they will not be recognised unless these
>> contacts have a confirmation either from a card or LotW. It is not
>> possible to claim IOTA credits from contacts confirmed through LotW.
>> Since contacts made during the IOTA contest are accepted as credits by
>> RGSB without any cards, if both stations have entered their logs, it
>> is not possible to keep track of the IOTA award in DX4WIN.
>>
>> The same problem is true for Russian oblast award, since contacts made
>> during RDXC could be used to claim credits.
>>
>> I sincerely hope this will be changed in the next version.
