The reason this does not work is because you are checking the multiplier
status of a particular prefix, and if you've not worked it, it is not on
the multiplier list and no information is returned. On the other hand, in
a DX contest you're checking a country which already exists and hence
information is returned, even if you've not worked it.
This might seem to be a subtle distinction to some, but it is how the code
works. F10 is not a "find a beam heading" key, it is a "check multiplier"
key. This is how NA has always worked, which is not to say it cannot be
changed.
