The iaru2020.xdt file may be used in the Win-Test Extra Information window (Alt-X) as a visual check if an operator makes mistake while entering the HQ multiplier, an error which will override the itu.dtb prefill on later QSOs with the same station.

Be sure to copy itu.dtb to the /databases directory, and iaru2020.xdt to the /extras directory.  Use the File | Explore menu in Win-test to locate the right directories.



If you type LN0HQ in Win-Test and it doesn't prefill NRRL, it means your HQ prefill file is out-of-date.

 

I've published a Win-Test script named "SearchXDT" which should be helpful while operating the IARU contest.  Sometimes you hear a HQ station running fast, giving exchanges, but not sending their callsign very often.  Now all you have to do is type the exchange (HQ abbreviation), or partial exchange, or partial callsign, in the logging window and press a key such as Ctrl-S ("search"), and the script displays all the published callsigns or HQ multipliers that match what you have entered.  It simply scans one text file in the Win-test /extras directory, such as IARU2020.XDT, and displays the matching lines in a pop-up window.


SearchXDT.zip and other useful Win-Test scripts may be downloaded from my Win-Test Scripts page:
