[Dx4win] Add an island name

[John Shaw]

 I have never really gotten into the IOTA thing too deep but the addition of
the extra level with the new IOTA Island box in V8 it kind of encourages you
to take a little more notice.

The group that put on these two IOTA's did a terrific job and I managed to
work them a couple of times on each IOTA.  Unfortunately the information on
their web page is not complete in respect to which Island in the Diego
Ramirez Islands group they were at, in fact to the un initiated it does seem
that they were on Diego Ramirez Island full stop which cant be because there
is no such individual island.  To add to the confusion there is an Ramirez
Island which is one of the islands in SA094 IOTA.

The only reference I can find to which of the three islands that make up
SA097 that they were actually on is one of the entries in the Guestbook
thanks them for Gonzalo.  Can any of you eagle eyes see a better reference?
It would be nice to get confirmation of this as the IOTA site says SA097 has
never been activated before, so it will be quite a achievement for these two
ops to be the first to activate it.  I hope they have all the paperwork in
order to satisfy the IOTA awards program.

Yes John, that is the island name.  Diego Ramirez is the island group.

Paul, F6EXV: I assume you have fulllist.xml in your SAVE directory, right,
This is how DX4WIN selects island names from within an island group (IOTA).
