I've updated SDC V11.14 (SD for the Commonwealth Contest).
When you type a call that has been worked already,
the band display, below the callsign, instantly
shows the status of this station on all 5 bands.
There's no need to touch any other key.
The display is colour-coded as follows:
Grey - already worked on that other band.
Red - a dupe on the current band.
White - required on that/this band.
If the band is the current band, the
QSO will be a bonus if B is displayed
above the call.
Yellow - will be a bonus on that other band.
The yellow bands stand out - you can't miss them.
As this station will be a bonus on those bands,
you can immediately plan to move him.
Let's say you work VE4AB on 14026, and SDC shows
you that you need him for a bonus on 15m. You
agree a frequency, say 21067. Enter 21067 in the
callsign field, and SDC QSYs the rig. Enter "
(quotes) to repeat and fill the callsign field
with VE4AB, complete your QSO and press F10 twice
to return to your run frequency - 14026.
This is easier and faster to do than to describe.
NOTE: SDC is not available for download from my website.
Anyone who wants SDC V11.14 should request it directly
by email. It will be attached to a return email.
SD cannot be configured for the Commonwealth Contest.
