[Ham-Mac] Issue with ARRL's LoTW TSQL v1.11 for Mac OSX

[Dick Kriss, AA5VU]

The problem is history! I took the advice from Wayne Mills, N7NG, at the
ARRL LoTW program.  I trashed the two applications and downloaded fresh
versions.  No more wxWidget errors and I just uploaded the greenies* to the
LoTW site using the new LoTW certificate.

Heads up if you see the wxWidgets error message.  The fix is easy... just
download a fresh version of the applications.

Footnote:  * Greenies is a new DXA term used for the green check boxes
confirming your QSO's with the W7C operation.  The DXA live web page is
pretty cool at

The K7C Web site: http://www.cordell.org/htdocs/KURE/
