Hi Dmitry,
Please note that what I guess were screen shots were not shown in the
received email.
The extra information is imported by DX4WIN because it was there! In the
passed,
users have mixed feelings about the frequency field; what is the value of
that information
after a few years? But I decided it should be included in the QSO window.
I do not know how you filter the frequency for example, but it would be
simple to
change <FREQ to <FREX for example. The field will be ignored.
The second example could be improved when N1MM changes the ADIF field from
<SECTION to <ARRL-SECT; SECTION is not an ADIF field.
Lastly, I do not know the meaning of <APP_N1MM_EXCHANGE1:3>CAS
It looks like a contest specific exchange.
