Does anyone think this is a good idea from 2005 (below)?  If so, can we 
persuade Olivier and Laurent to incorporate it into Win-test in time for 
this year's IOTA contest?

Task #31 - IOTA: show the possible references.  Saturday, 2 Jul 2005

Requested by G3SQX:

There is also a very good feature in EI5DI's IOTA program (SDI). As you 
enter a callsign, the country and possible IOTA references are displayed in 
an separate window. So, for example, as soon as you type "TK", you will see:

Corsica : - EU014 - EU100 - EU104 - EU164

This makes it easier to determine the IOTA reference from a station who is 
weak or under QRM. EI5DI uses a file called IOTA.REF, which is the same as 
IOTA.DAT, but with the country prefix added. It would be a fantastic benefit 
to have this in Win-test -- perhaps at the base of the "Check multipliers" 
window.
