[Mldxcc] Spotting (was Assisted vs Unassisted)

[Emileigh Starbrook]

Hi Bob,

So I played around with my logging program and it does do two things - one
of which is what you are calling spotting.  It has to be turned on (I did
not since I didn't realize it was there) but it is on my generally logging
program.  I have it enabled there, but only so when I make a contact and
log it, it sends it to the internet and it shows up on DX Summit.

However I tested it this morning it has a grid (spreadsheet) of a list of
stations (I guess those are spots).  If I click on on it does tune the
radio to that frequency.  But they scroll so fast I don't really see any
real way to use it.

The thing I like about DX Summit is I can filter it to the band I'm tuned
to - and it gives me about 50 stations on a page.  It only updates about
every 3 minutes, so it's not constantly scrolling.

I can definitely see how using a spotting program can be advantageous but
the fun of the chase tuning around is definitely fun for me.

Cheers,

Emily
