I've a new version of SD which you might like to try in this contest.
As it's not fully tested for other events, it is not on general release.

It's named V11.1D, and you can get it from www.ei5di.com/sd/sdexe.zip.
This zip file also contains an updated RUSSIA.MLT (the code for Saha
(RA0Q) is changed from SH to YA), and this is hard-coded into SD so
that YA will be auto-inserted when appropriate.

The main difference with this version is that, as you type prefixes
and callsigns, you get a multiplier/band analysis below the callsign.
For calls (or partial calls) that have not been logged already, the
bands are shown with a clear background. If you've logged that call
on any band, the band analysis is shown on a coloured background.
The band numbers are colour coded as follows.  Yellow means a mult
on that band, white means needed but not a mult, dark grey means this
call has been worked already on that band, and red means a dupe on 
the current band and mode.  This may sound complicated, but it's
really simple in practice.

The intent is to show you immediately, without having to move your
eyes (never mind your head) whether it's worth moving that station
to another band to pick up a a mult.

Correction : There is no 10-minute rule in this contest for SO
entries.

Bug fix - SD's #N (name) parameter is now working.

73,
Paul EI5DI
