A little late perhaps, but I've updated the WPX option (Type 6) in
SD to support the All Asia and the Oceania contests which count
prefix multipliers on each band, and not just once only - as in
WPX.

There are specific options in Type 6 (W, O, or A - corresponding
to WPX, Oceania and All Asia) to include correct scoring on all
bands.

In doing this I've had to abandon prefix multiplier consistency
checks after callsign or band edits on previously logged QSOs -
but that's probably a small price to pay for the extra
flexibility.  In any case, SDR will independently re-score your
log for these contests - once I've updated it to correspond to the
changes in SD.

I've a couple of hours work yet, so the new version of SD may not
be on the website until 21:00 UTC on Friday, but it will be ready.
