[Dx4win] LOTW import issue using SAT mode V9

[Mike Cox]

I asked about this several months back and likewise, never saw any 
response. My current "fix" is to hand patch the LOTW generated adif 
files with the correct satellite name manually before uploading to LOTW. 
Specifically, I asked about providing updates to the satellite "list" 
contained within dx4win OR making it user modifiable to accommodate the 
constantly changing list of amateur satellites.
