V14.24 March 2009 (SD Only):
SCP - Super Check Partial:
SCP is toggled with the SCP command. By default,
it displays callsigns with matching characters to
the ones you've just typed, regardless of their
position within the MASTER.DTA callsigns, the SCP
database. You can download up-to-date copies of
this file from www.k5zd.com/scp.
If you prefer to see SCP calls by prefix only,
press comma - this display is often more relevant
and less cluttered. To return to the default
(full) SCP display, press comma again. In effect,
comma toggles the SCP display between "Full" and
"By Prefix". Thanks to G3UEG for the suggestion.
To see SCP calls by Suffix only, press full stop
(period). With this option, and with auto insert
enabled (toggled with the AI command), the cursor
moves to the start of the callsign ready for
characters to be inserted. Otherwise, the cursor
does not move. For information, I use the OVR
(Overwrite) mode with auto insert enabled. That
way, anything I type replaces what's underneath
(no need to separately delete unwanted characters),
with the exception that, when the cursor is
positioned at the start of the callsign field,
the mode is temporarily changed to INS (Insert) -
as you might expect!
As always, with SCP disabled, comma and full stop
display calls, by prefix or by suffix, from QSOs
already logged. Again, with SCP disabled, equals
"=" enables SCP temporarily. Once you log a QSO,
it reverts to disabled.
A reminder that you can retrieve any non-dupe
callsign in the Check Partial window, with or
without SCP, by using the Up Arrow key. When
there is only one callsign in the window, Up
Arrow immediately moves it to the logging line.
This can save a lot of time, especially with
longer callsigns. Another SD exclusive.
Broken code in SD V14.23 (integrating SCP with
dupe and mult checking) caused problems in
logging the exchange in the UBA Spring contest
and many other contests. Fixed, thanks EI7GY.
WIA Remembrance Day HF Contest:
Added support, including all scoring options,
with the exception of 10m FM.
ARRL DX Contest:
SD: Fixed validation of NWT province. Thanks
G3RAU.
SDCHECK: Fixed the Claimed Score calculation
for W/VE entrants. Thanks VE7JKZ.
SDU - UBA Contest for DX Entrants.
Updated the Countries Multiplier window to show
all European Union countries needed/worked.
Previously, they were separated by continent -
and they're not all in Europe.
SD.INI File:
Added parameters to record the versions of SD,
SDC etc. most recently used. This helps for
debugging purposes.
