[Dx4win] contest mode

[Mike Rhodes]

Bill,
   If you are even moderately serious in your contesting efforts, I 
strongly suggest you look at a dedicated contest logging program such as 
N1MM. Once you get past the learning curve you will wonder how you ever 
got along without it. DX4Win is a logging program first, second, and 
third. Contest logging falls after that compared to a dedicated program. 
Once the contest is over you can export the N1MM data and import it into 
DX4Win to take care of your DX and QSLing chores.
