[Dxbase] Getting correct Challenge credit into DXB

[N3XX - Tim Heger]

I'm not sure how you would get the info from LOTW and import to DXbase, but 
there is a "Special 1" and "Special 2" field in the Awards drop down list. 
It would still require manual entry for each record, but you could just 
check off the Special 2 box for each record that LOTW lists.
I don't worry about the records matching up with what LOTW shows, since the 
DXCC Challenge numbers are still right on the DXCC Statistics window that 
comes up when you go to "Output/HF Numeric Statistics/Countries".

73,
Tim - N3XX
