[Dx4win] LoTW Membership Display

[Jim Reisert AD1C]

I'll try using the ARRL list next time.

If I'm in a good mood, I'll make a -mas3 option for the updater w/ LoTW calls

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?
