V12.05 19th October 2005
CQWW:
Updated CQWW.CTY, and other .CTY files, as per
the latest CTY.DAT file from AD1C.
SD uses hard-code to determine Russian zones.
Apparently the correct zone for UA9S T & W, for
CQWW scoring purposes, is 16. You can log this
as 17, which most such stations will send, but
you're better off leaving it as 16 if you want
correct multiplier totals.
Fixed the lower status line country/zone analyis
for calls already worked.
QSO and Band timers.
The commands QSOTIME, BANDTIME and BANDMODETIME
display separate timers. You can switch from
one to the other with the appropriate command,
and stop the display by repeating the most
recent timer command.
The band and band/mode timers are reset after
the first QSO on a particular band and/or mode.
Switching band/mode, with no QSO logged, has
no effect on them.
FTdx9000:
Updated the rig control file - the previous one
didn't work.
Arrow Keys:
On some keyboards, they didn't always work when
selecting templates at startup. Fixed.
RSGB, PACC and WAE country files (.CTY).
Updated to explicitly define all prefixes for
the relevant multiplier call areas. For example,
in RSGB.CTY, JA K VE VK and ZL call areas count
separately as multipliers.
Previously, some of this was coded to save DOS
memory, but that's not an issue with Windows.
FOC Marathon.
Added as a standard template.
Restored F9 (list QSOs by call). I had removed
it for contests where country multipliers/bonus
counted once only, but this was not appropriate
for the Marathon.
A reminder that the commands, 1B, 2B ... to 6B
display all calls worked on the corresponding
number of band - very handy when checking for
5 and 6-banders. These commands work for all
SD contests. The AB (any band) command lists
calls worked on any band - together with the
number of bands concerned.
Templates:
There are now 71 templates supplied - with more
in the pipeline.
SD Startup:
By leaving the contest name blank, SD displays
the names of all your contest files. If you
have more than 161 of them (1 page), you can
see all the others with Page Down & Page Up.
A reminder that Z (Zap) will delete a selected
entry (.ALL and other associated files).
