One more thing: I neglected to mention in the release notes that this app
adds a custom tag to the ADIF logs it modifies, so that one can tell which
logs have been post-processed:

It adds the custom ADIF 3.1 tag: "<app_uwl_source>" with the source used to
fill in the data, e.g. "qrz.com" or "callook.com". So there is a way to
detect if logs have been modified post-WSJT-X.
