[Dx4win] LoTW Membership Display

[Jim Worthington]

Thanks. I did download that list. I've concluded that I'm better off just checking the ARRL LoTW page <https://p1k.arrl.org/lotwuser/act>  for several reasons:
1. It appears that less than 70% of the LoTW calls are in the HB9BZA list. The HB9BZA list has about 43,000 calls in it, while the ARRL reports almost 64,000 active certificates. 
2. The ARRL page is always up-to-date. New users are coming onto LoTW every day. Downloading and converting the HB9 list frequently isn't worth the effort to me.
3. I would need to give up the other lists that I get automatically using the AD1C updater.

I really appreciate all the suggestions. Hopefully, DX4WIN will eventually have a convenient way of displaying LoTW membership when a call is typed into the QSO Window. Perhaps the ARRL will provide a query service for this, at some point. For now, using the ARRL page seems best.

I assumed it has to do DX Summit not being aTNC or telnet site which accepts an SH/DX command. So I tried connecting to a telnet site. This approach was successful, but only for calls that had been spotted on that cluster.

I got call sign matches, but could not determine whether they were LoTW, eQSL, or Super Check Partial members. I assume a call sign shows in the Master Lookup Window if it is in any of these lists. To use this approach for determining LoTW membership, do I need to eliminate the eQSL and Super Check Partial members from these files?
