[Dx4win] Importing FT4 QSO confirmations from the LoTW

[Georg (DL5NO)]

Hi Keith,

thanks for your email!

I downloaded a new lotwreport.adi with all QSOs, and after import also 
the FT4 QSOs have a "Cnfm"->"Y", that solved my problem :-)

I can't understand how I got the old (apparently corrupt) lotwreport.

All others: Pse ignore my original mail.

73 and tnx,
  Georg
