Igor, I agree that the band maps built into logging programs like N1MM and DX4WIN are helpful, and I use them alot during contests and regular logging. But sometimes band maps get very crowded and they normally only allow you to view one band at a time. I still think that a band stacking feature can provide very quick back and forth switching between different pile ups on different bands and modes -- and can be very useful in certain situations.
