[SD-User] V11.33 Released

[Paul O'Kane]

V11.33          13th July 2005

IOTA Contest - SDI:
    Simplified Data entry - with Enter/Return after
    every field (as always!).

    Any Station Worked Already:
       For island stations, SDI gives an automatic
       band/mode multiplier analysis.  For other
       stations, SDI shows bands/modes worked and
       wanted.

       The QSO is logged from the Serial field.
       If it's an island station, the previously
       logged IOTA reference is auto-filled.

    Any Station Not Already Worked:
       If it could be an island station (with one or
       more island references in SDIOTA.CTY for that
       country or call area), the QSO is logged from
       the IOTA Reference field.

       SDI always inserts the continent (EU, NA etc.)
       in the Reference field.  There's no need to
       delete or remove the continent for a non-island
       station when no reference is received - just
       hit Enter as usual.

       If it can't possibly be an island station (no
       island entries in SDIOTA.CTY), for example HB9,
       the QSO is logged when you enter the Serial.
       
    Band/Mode Multiplier Analysis updated:
       The band/mode analysis is colour-coded as
       follows (to bring SDI into line with SD).

       Yellow  : Wanted - will be a mult.
       White   : Wanted - not a mult.
       Black   : Worked already on that band/mode.

       As a visual reference, your current band/mode
       is indicated by two squares - with similar
       colour coding.

       To check the multiplier status of any island,
       type its reference in the callsign field. Use
       Esc to clear the field.

QDUMP Command:
    Added to all programs, but intended for anyone
    using SDI for a multi-op entry.  QDUMP copies
    your .ALL file to a diskette file of the same
    name in drive A: - so that it may be loaded on
    the multiplier station's PC.

    Output files from the QDUMP, DUMP and FASTDUMP
    commands now have "normal" file attributes - the
    archive attribute is not set.

CALIBRATE Command:
    No longer keys the rig (with the word PARIS).

SDCHECK - All Asia:
    Requests your age, as sent, and writes this to
    each QSO in your Cabrillo log.

SD Type 11 - RSGB CC and Low Power Field Day:
    You can now specify 0 points for CW QSOs.

    Fixed Claimed-Score in SDCHECK Cabrillo logs.

    Low-Power Field Day.  Fixed scoring for Type 11,
    Option F.

Mixed-Mode Contests:
    F9 display of QSOs by Call now displays only
    those QSOs that match the mode in use.  This
    improves the listing when you enter a "dupe"
    callsign. Previously it might have shown a QSO
    (on another mode on the current band) that was
    not a dupe.
