[Dxbase] Log Entries

[Joe WA6AXE]

One nice check that can be made on questionable
PORTABLE callsigns, would be to go to the LOTW website
and on the opening webpage - there is a icon/button that is
entitled:

"Find Call"

When I typed-in the HK0/EA4DX callsign, it came back
with "No log data found".. Then I typed-in the alternative
callsign of EA4DX/HK0 and it came back with:

"Last upload for EA4DX/HK0: 2005-11-16 01:07:04Z "

So, there is a way to, "in-advance", doublecheck the 
possibility of which way the station is submitting his
QSOs to LOTW.  Very time-consuming, but could
prove valuable.
