>> Plausible Uniques:
>> PUP (Plausible Uniques Percentage) command added,
>> with values from 0 (the default) to 5%.  SD links
>> to QRZ.COM to insert QSOs with appropriate calls and
>> exchanges - according to the assigned PUP rate. QSOs
>> are added only when you change frequency by 2 kHz or
>> more on CW, or 6 kHz on SSB.  Calls are selected in
>> line with recently worked countries, by band.
>>
>> As a bonus, when several SD users enable PUP logging,
>> some calls are likely to appear in other logs and
>> will no longer be uniques.
>>
>> One disadvantage is that some of the "uniques" may
>> happen to be active in the contest.  That's not a
>> problem.  If you hear them, work them, otherwise
>> just delete the earlier "QSO".  If they call, work
>> them - dupes don't matter in Cabrillo logs.
>>
>> If there is sufficient demand, the maximum PUP will
>> be increased.  For the moment, I'm testing higher
>> values myself.

>> Self-Spotting Coefficient - SSC:
>> We all know how useful it is to be spotted, and how
>> frustrating it is to be unable to try a bit of self-
>> spotting without incurring the wrath of the cluster
>> police.
>>
>> SD links to DX Summit, via multiple proxy servers,
>> to generate spots for your frequency - using calls
>> and IP addresses derived from K1TTT's databases.
>> It's not necessary to have your own call spotted
>> since you probably don't care how other contesters
>> get to your frequency, so long as they do.
>>
>> This option should be used with caution, as SSC
>> values above 0.5% (1 in 200 spots) tend to arouse
>> suspicion.
>>
>> ESM (Enter Sends Message) and Spotting:
>> In CW contests, when using ESM in S&P mode, SD now
>> spots all QSOs.  This gives your callsign a bit of
>> visibility on the cluster, and it's likely that the
>> people you spot will be more inclined to return the
>> favour in future.
>>
>> Rig Control:
>> Rig Control has been extended to allow simultaneous
>> control of any number of remote rigs, located at the
>> QTHs of SD users worldwide. It's perfect for putting
>> the wires back into wireless - you'll have an S9
>> signal and great reception on all bands. Now you can
>> level the playing field and give yourself the chance
>> to be a real contender.
>>
>> Please contact me, with full details, when you add
>> remote access to your station.
>>
>> WinKey and Serials:
>> SD integrates with WinKey to send the occasional
>> incorrect serial - you get the points but they don't.
>> For RoPoCo, the postcode is modified.  This feature
>> is controlled by the presence of matching calls in
>> a standard text file TARGET.TXT (add your own calls
>> with NotePad) in the same folder as SD.EXE.
