[SD-User] V18.21 Released

[Paul O'Kane]

V18.21  9 March 2016

UKEICC 80m and Stew Perry Topband:
     In V18.20, the option to log ---- (4 hyphens) when
     no locator was received meant that minus (-) could
     no longer be used to wipe the QSO.

     0000 should be logged when no locator is received.
     This is converted to ---- in Cabrillo QSO records.

ES Open.
     Stations may now be worked on both modes in each
     period - updated the template file QESOPEN.TPL.
     Thanks ES5TV.

Icom IC-7300.
     Added rig-control support.

FOC Marathon:
     SD did not recognise Country bonuses when reloading
     a log.  Fixed, thanks K2VUI.

Commonwealth Contest:
     SDCHECK - the summary of points/band was corrupt.
     Fixed, thanks G3SWC.

Super Check Partial Files.
     These are complied by Stu K6TY, and are free from
     supercheckpartial.com. They are available in two
     formats.

     1.  Plain text, with a .SCP extension
     2.  Compressed, with a .DTA extension

     SD uses only the original .DTA compressed files.

     Previously, some SCP files bundled with SD were given
     the SCP extension.  They have now been renamed with
     the DTA extension.  They are CWOPS.DTA, FOCSD.DTA and
     INORC.DTA, loaded automatically for the relevant
     contests.

     MASTER.DTA, the worldwide SCP file, is no longer
     distributed with SD.  You can get your up-to-date
     copy from supercheckpartial.com.  W/VE users should
     also download MASTERDX.DTA and MASTERSS.DTA.  All
     other users should download MASUSVE.DTA.  SD's
     templates have been updated, where relevant, to load
     the appropriate DTA files.
