Hi David,

It works like all other DX4WIN Awards.  Select POTA (or Parks on the
Air) in the Custom Award field.  Tab into the Custom Award Value
field.  Type F1 to get a list of values.  Type F2 to sort them by
reference number.  Then type in the reference number i.e. "K-4567" and
it should automatically scroll down the list to that park.  Since
DX4WIN uses substring searching, you may get "HK-4567" instead, so I
just pull the vertical scroll bar down until I get close to the right
reference number, then arrow up/down from there.
