Since my ears were ringing, I must chime in. (Whoa, bad pun.)
While I agree with Scot, I must say that the method of displaying
whether or not you need the mult is MUCH TOO SUBTLE!!!!
The difference between "OK" and nothing is tiny, especially if other
fields have QSOs listed in them. For example, here's a copy of my
NAQP check call:
160M 904 0501Z W0BR BOB CT
80M OK
40M 403 2345Z W0BR BOB CT
20M 234 2101Z W0BR BOB CT
15M
10M 303 2045Z W0BR BOB CT
Notice there is very little difference between 80M and
15M, especially since you are visually distracted with
the other QSO information. I notice the two holes quite
easily, but it takes a bit more than a glance to notice
that I worked some other CT station on 80M.
May I recommend something like "MULT NEEDED" in bold red letters
for the bands that it's needed? Something that catches the eyes
much better?
