Hi,
I have reviewed many suggestions to change / improve the color scheme
for the spotting window. Some of these suggestions are in conflict with each
other, some come from the novice DXers others from honor roll members etc.
So I hope that the following proposal makes sense, and covers most of
your needs.
To support this, I have added 2 more categories, a column in the spotting window
indicating the priority (1..8) and the ability to change the font color and the
background color.
If you have any comments, thoughts etc. please reply to the reflector only, and
on this topic only. There were plenty of other proposals for new features (for
which I keep a separate email folder), but this is now my highest priority.
Paul
------------------------------------
All the following categories take the station
band / mode settings and the award settings
for bands and modes into account. Also, when you
only allow for spots from certain countries and/or zones
that filter will be applied as well.
(Substitute country by Zone or by WPX prefix for the
other color schemes available)
Modes refers to major modes only (Phone, CW and RTTY)
1 New country or callsign alert
Callsign alert is not limited by station or award band/mode
or spotter country/zone
2 Country not confirmed
(The same callsign and band/mode combination is category 8)
3 New band
Never worked this country on this band
4 New mode
Never worked this country using this mode
5 New band/mode combination
Never worked this country using this band/mode combination
6 Worked one or more stations using this band/mode
combination but none of these contacts have been confirmed.
(The same callsign and band/mode combination is category 8)
7 Did not work this callsign in this band/mode combination
8 The rest
A. Worked this callsign in this band/mode combination
B. The band/mode combination is not enabled in station
preferences or for the award
C. The spot came from a region (country or zone) that
was not enabled.
