[Dx4win] Callsign Alert and IOTA alert in DX4win

[Erkki Heikkinen]

Kostas et all,

This works FB, thanks for the advice.

How do you remove a call from the membership list?

Just deleting it from the IOTA.txt file does not remove it from the
membership list, and restarting DX4Win does not help.

I had to delete membership lists, exit DX4Win, delete the MAS2 file,
restart DX4Win, exit again and copy again the MAS2 file again to the
main directory. Then I could add the iota.txt file to membership list.

I am sure there is an easier way, I just can't figure it out!
