SD - Band Analysis.
For all contests with multipliers, SD gives an
automatic colour-coded band/mult analysis under
the callsign field - as you type prefixes.
Yellow - needed as a multiplier.
White - needed, but not a multiplier.
Black - worked already on that band.
Red - a dupe on the current band and mode.
In mixed-mode contests, where multipliers count
on both modes, the stats are shown separately
for each mode.
In CQWW, with country and zone multipliers, the
colour scheme applies independently to the two
characters for each band. For example, if the
current callsign (or prefix) would be a country
mult, but not a zone mult, on 20m - the 2 will
be yellow and the 0 will be white.
This may sound complicated but, visually, it is
simple and effective. It lets you quickly decide
whether it's worth moving a station to another
band to pick up a multiplier (or two).
When multipliers count once only, as in CQ WPX,
nothing is shown except when a call has been
logged earlier. There can be no "yellows".
When a call is a dupe, the QSO details are
shown, highlighted, in a separate window.
SD - NO160 Command.
For multi-band contests, you can use the NO160
command to indicate that QSOs on 160m are not
valid. This setting is held in a control record
in the .ALL file, and applies each time you re-
load the file. The band/mode analyis format
changes as appropriate.
A subsequent NO160 restores 160m as a valid band
for that event.
Memory Keyer:
Fixed the #N (name) parameter.
