[Dx4win] Auto Upload to LOTW, etc.

[Kostas SV1DPI]

It is normal that the most of the users still use dx4win are not 
interested for auto upload to lotw, clublog and eqsl. After some time I 
believe the majority of the dx4win users will be like me: they will not 
have interest for ft8 as well.

Dx4win should be able to offer these 2 things. Of course switchable auto 
or not. But this is what most of the people ask today. I have showed 
dx4win to many new hams. I explain that the most important thing in a 
logging program is to be reliable (not loose my qsos) and show the right 
dxcc entity and zone of every call. Dx4win does perfect these 2 things. 
I am a CQ checker in my country. You can not believe how many mistakes 
other programs have in zones. But all the new hams are interesting for 
ft8 and other digi and they don't like the way dx4win handles this. Also 
they want to be able easily upload to lotw and clublog. In combination 
that they need to pay for dx4win (not a few $) the most of them go away. 
This is not good for most of us even we are ok with dx4win...
