Thanks for your clarification, Steve. Seems that what should be understood is that when I, as a DXer, participate in a contest, I'd just like to send in my log with as minimal fuss as possible. I've "won" contests for my section/state with as few as 5 QSOs. That's pretty casual. Yup - they are contest specific. Sure would be nice if there was the option to have at least a few "major" contests supported. My 2 cents........YMMV. 73, Joe WL7M
