[Dx4win] Reconciling DXCC credits with DX4WIN

[Jim Reisert AD1C]

I'm sure a couple of you have read this application note:

    DXCC Award Tracking in DX4WIN
    http://dx4win.ad1c.us/appnotes/dxcc.html

and maybe a few have tried this program:

    Compare DX4WIN DXCC Credit Status with LoTW
    http://dx4win.ad1c.us/lotw/

Here's a tip about how to make DX4WIN match your ARRL DXCC records
when you have been awarded DXCC credit, but DX4WIN does not have a
record of such.

Lot into your Logbook of the World (LoTW) account.  Click on the
Awards link at the top, then "Select DXCC Award Account" on the left.
You will see a table showing the number of DXCC credits you have been
awarded for each award.  Notice that the Award names (i.e. CW or 40M)
are hyperlinks.  Click on one of those links.  Next, you'll see
another window with some choices.  Next to View, select the radio
button that says "All credits".   Then click on "Select DXCC Award to
View".  You will get a listing with two columns -- "Entity" on the
left and the DXCC award name you selected (i.e. 40M) on the right.
The callsigns in the right-hand column are all hyperlinks. By clicking
on a callsign, you will see the actual QSO data for which you received
that DXCC credit, i.e. Palau.  You can use this information to
identify the matching QSO in DX4WIN, then you can change that QSO's
DXCC award flags to match the DXCC credit shown on LoTW.  (i.e. set
DXCC Band flag to C[hecked]).  Repeat for all all DXCC credits until
you can run the "Compare DX4WIN DXCC Credit Status with LoTW" program
with no errors.

I don't know which QSO comes up for credits that your received before
the computerization of the ARRL DXCC program. However, matching ANY
confirmed QSO on the same band or mode will give you the same credit.
