I keep tracking for Japan prefectures (and cities and guns also), German doks, Russian oblasts (as Russian districts). So probably i will need some day this tool for these awards but i am not sure if i need something better from what dx4win makes. But... I think dx4win needs improve basic awards reports. For example i wish i had Lotw or cards priority in dxcc or i wish i had all reports ready to submit.
