[Dx4win] Confirm LoTW using ADIF file

[Luciano de la Rosa]

Mike, I saw your screenshot.

But whenever I open LoTW, it always shows the current date; it never shows
a date earlier than today, which is supposed to be the last time it was
updated.

I've checked several times, and it's always like that. Could it be that
when I view it on the Android app, it automatically deletes the date of the
last confirmations, and when I open it on the PC, it shows the current date?
