Uh, Jim you mis-interepreted me.
I was speaking of spots *OF* K3LR or W3LPL. Not spots of other stations
FROM K3LR or W3LPL.
In CQWW, I can't work K3LR or W3LPL for credit from the US. (OK, it could
be a multiplier, but I'm likely to get that anyway)
On the other hand, I'm very happy to receive spots from K3LR or W3LPL.

Come to think of it, the last couple of times at NQ4I's, the internet
packet gateway was set to filter USA stations.

I do that.

The band map is nice, but it takes up a lot of screen space.

At a M/M, you'll have it set for stuff for this band only. I'll flip back
and forth between mults only or new QSOs only, depending on conditions
and my mood.
I can think of three reasons to delete a spot:
* I've already listened and I can't hear the DX.
* Spot is a busted callsign of a station I've already worked.
* Spot is otherwise superfluous (eg a "called-in" spot)
I end up deleting a lot of spots in the course of a contest....
