[Dx4win] Beware of an empty RST field in a QSO!

[Mark Endorf]

I have had a situation in WSJT-X where the reply to my report comes much,
much later. 
If I have cleared the right hand decode window prior to that, and then try
to log the contact, it has blanks in the RST field. I try to only clear the
right hand window, when all contacts have been confirmed, but if someone
comes back with a report four or five minutes later, then it's likely I have
cleared out the info. Maybe that is what happened?

Mike, it was just that one QSO.  I don't know what happened. But finding it
ultimately saves me from sending a "duplicate" QSL to ARRL for VUCC credit.
If I had known earlier, I could have saved postage + SASE costs for
obtaining that QSL!
