Unless I have missed something this does not work for NAQP for states or
provinces.  Not sure
about other tests other than CQWW where you are correct.

The current display of mults is fine for the information displayed.  Where
it comes up short is
how it has to be called up.  Your reference to CT's <ALT><M> and <ALT><Z> is
a good idea.  While
I do use the mouse to some extent it is not fast enough for me to move my
hands off the keys, go to the mouse
to bring up a window so that I can ask a station to move for a mult.  It has
to be a real time display at all times.  (Then we
need to be able to size it so it fits on screen) or a single key stroke or
easy combination to bring it up would work.
