[Dxbase] QSL Column Question

I don't think there is any way to recognize the + sign and have the QSL VIA 
field populated with LOTW.  I'm sure someone will correct me if I am wrong.

The default for the QSL VIA field is set in Tools/Options/User Options/Log 
Defaults.  Unfortunately, LOTW is not one of the options on the drop down 
menu for the QSL VIA field.  I just leave my default value set to None. 
Then if sending a qsl I change it to the way I sent it.  After sending a qsl 
and changing the QSL VIA field to show the way I sent it, any future contact 
with the same station defaults to the way I have set it for the first 
contact (manager, bureau, direct, etc.).

I hope LOTW will be on the list in the next version of DXbase.
