[Dxbase] QSL Column Question

Tim, I wonder how sometimes it populates as buro and other times as 
direct.  Other times as "other."  I need to look into this a little 
further.  Mine default is set to Bureau but I get the other two showing 
up in there for reasons unknown to me.  And, I notice that LOTW isn't a 
choice so I guess the whole thing is moot.  I appreciate the info.
