I thought changing to a different node had stopped the Summary window problem, but after 12 hours, it stopped updating again - spots still coming in on Internet Cluster window, but no updates occurring on the Summary window. Also, if the spots coming in are for a band or mode I need, the DX Info window updates normally, even though the Summary window does not. Even though there appear to be no updates in the Summary window, if I click on one of the empty band/mode squares, the Previous QSOs window is opened showing my previous qso's for the most recent dx spot on this particular band/mode. As far as I can tell, the Summary window is functioning normally, except for the display of worked or confirmed in the individual squares.
