Hi Alan, You can use the award flags at the bottom of the QSO window to invalidate a QSO for any given award. For DXCC, you would want to set Mixed, Mode and Band all to 'I'. -- Jim Reisert AD1C, <[email protected]>, https://ad1c.us ______________________________________________________________ DX4WIN mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/dx4win Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:[email protected] This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html
