This might not be the intended function for the recent addition of the
blacklisting option in the packet spots window. During the DX contest I
frequently jumped on spots for stations that I had worked but that got
relisted as unworked in a truncated version by the skimmer servers. For
example, 5B/RN3QO would be spotted as RN3QO. Similarly 4O/E77W, F/G4BJM,
etc.. By blacklisting RN3QO, etc. those spots would appear in a gray
highlighted italic text style. I could have also chosen to hide blacklisted
spots and they wouldn't be visible at all. And blacklisting is very simple
with a simple right click.
This is also very helpful for the occasional station that is calling CQ but
is not in the contest and for calls that come up busted on a regular basis.
I planned on deleting the blacklisted calls after the contest but I saw that
the blacklisting does not carry over to other contest modules. I guess the
data is saved in the contest in which it was entered. This seems like a good
thing.
