[Dx4win] DX4WIN.AWD award database release 3.18 - 15 July 2011

[Jim Reisert AD1C]

I have updated the DX4WIN.AWD file.  This release contains 183 awards.
You can download it from:

     http://dx4win.ad1c.us/awards/

But it's easier to use the DX4WIN Data Updater:

     http://dx4win.ad1c.us/updater

The .ZIP file also contains a number of membership list files
(plain-text files with a .list extension). These can be used to
identify member calls in the DX Spots window. Please read the
application note on Membership Lists for more information.

You can read the full release notes here:

The WFF (World Flora Fauna) and SOTA (Summits on the Air) awards are 
new.  SOTA had to be split up into a separate award per country or 
region (HB0, W7, etc.) due to a limitation of the DX4WIN QSO structure. 
Therefore, the awards are named like this:

     SOTA - Liechtenstein (HB0)
     SOTA - USA (W7)

If you enter a callsign, DX4WIN should allow you to choose the correct 
award name and value, based on the callsign entity.  If this structure 
doesn't suit people, there are ways to change it, but they are less elegant.
