OH1KH 5f47da75a9 Changes to LoTW/eQSL download error files
Preface
	Sometimes you find some "QSO not found" errors in LoTW or eQSL download. There are some reasons for that.
		QSO did not complete and you did not log that, but the opponent station thinks it is completed.
		People type in their old paper logs to computer and upload them to LoTW/eQSL. QSO is ok but it is somewhere in your earlier paper logs.
		QSO may be an SWL report waiting to confirm via eQSL

	To make handling of those qsos a bit easier format of error files is changed.

	- Added adif header to lotw/eqsl download error files.
	- Added adif record for every lotw/eqsl error 'not in log' qso record
	  with lotw/eqsl sent+date and contest_id 'Qso_was_not_found_in_log!'
	- Renamed lotw/eqsl error files to ".adi".
	  Changed error file format by adif standard

	- Fixed frmMain speed button 'select all records' to be
	  'select all records now in buffer (max 500)' that is actually true.
	  This resolves issue #380 by easy way

	- help file fixes and additions

Backup your data often! BACKUP your log directory at the end of EVERY session!
All that you need to backup and store in a safe place is the log database directory
located in the ~/.config/cqrlog/database folder, or you can enable the autobackup function
in Preferences. This autobackup function creates an ADIF file with a backup of your log.

<p><h3>Preparation</h3></p>
<div align=justify>We assume that you have a working eQSL Account. If you are new to eQSL,
carefully read the instructions provided by the eQSL and set up your account.<br>
Most important is to set the QTH nickname and dates to validate qsos with that name.
</p><p><h3>Setup</h3></p>
<div align=justify>If you didn't do it already in the <a href="h1.html#bh4"<strong>Preferences</strong></a> setup procedure,
provide your user name for eQSL and the password.
</div>
</p>
<p><img src="img/eqsl1.png"><br><br>
<br><h3>eQSL upload</h3></p>
<p>
You find eQSL up and donwload from <b>QSO list/QSL</b> menu.<br>
<div align=justify><strong>Select the QSO records</strong> you want to confirm.
Either whole log, or just files that have never been uploaded (that is the normal operation).
<br>Be sure that<b> QTH Nickname </b> is the same you defined at eQSL website setup.
<br>Now click the <b>Upload</b> button. A message will appear to inform you about ulpload progress.<br>
From message you will see what is the adif file that were used for upload. It is saved and can be used afterwards if needed.
<br> You see also how many records were added to eQSL.
</p>
<p><h3>eQSL download and processing</h3></p>
<p><div align=justify>The main purpose of the eQSL download is to
mark existing QSO records as confirmed via eQSL.
</div>
<br>
<img src="img/eqsl2.png"><br><br>
Set the <b>date after</b> to request QSL records. This is normally good to keep in current year for daily use.
It keep the download and porcessing fast. Every now and then set te date more back to past to see possible late confirms.
<br>Be sure that<b> QTH Nickname </b> is the same you defined at eQSL website setup.
If you press <b>Download data from eQSL website</b> a progress
indicator is displayed in <b>Progress</b> window.
<br>You can also see the filename that was used to store records locally in case of future needs.
<br><br>
In case there are QSO records that are not found from your log an error file is written and you can see it by clicking <b>Yes</b> button.
<br>Note that this file may contain also SWL eQSLs reportings of your qsos heard by SWLs.
