But my original reply works the same way. I've had mine set to filter by callsign/area for decades like I replied to you originally. You prefer zones....but as I noted....it was right where I told you to look. And yes, it works perfectly. I also have it filtering in the spot window by color to only show new bands/modes I haven't worked or confirmed. And no FT8 spots, thank you very much. Even in the CQ WW....while the packet cluster window is rolling with hundreds of spots, my spot window remains empty for hours. Like I said, I've been filtering like this for a couple of decades. And I've worked over 300 countries on most bands and modes....so I'm never going to see many new spots I need anymore!
Yes, many wrong calls spotted. Some over and over again. Like EP2A (Iran) on 40 meters. Over and over....even though I and others continually spot the correct call....IP2A (Italy ). Copying code seems to becoming a lost art.... K4TK Tim Moore On Sun, Nov 24, 2024, 10:18 AM Mark K3MSB <mark.k3...@gmail.com> wrote: > Thank you Mike; that worked.
