[Dx4win] County identification

That's a good point about a station NOT being
located in the county of his address.  Happens
all the time and I don't know a fool-proof way
to avoid it.  One can always ask the operator's
actual county location during the QSO, and I've
done this sometimes.

Another problematic situation for logging programs
is the cities that are independent entities and can be 
claimed for ONE adjoining county.  DX4WIN has
no (apparent) way to flag these for future determination.  

I'd welcome a way to put a notation or perhaps a 
symbol in the "County"  field that's not used elsewhere 
in the program to flag/search for such an entry.  

Yes, I know one can put a note in the "Notes for the 
QSO" field, as I now do to log the operator's city. 
The program needs a dedicated city/town/county field!

The ability to log and track counties is the ONLY 
reason I initially purchased DX4WIN.
