Available Mults
and Qs Window
The Available Mults and Qs window will be similar to
this one.

This window
consists of three parts, the header, the band buttons and at the bottom
the multiplier list box. Left an example for the HF bands, on the left
for VHF and up.
The Header
The header
shows behind 'Available' the number of Multipliers and Qso's.
Example 4 Mults 12 Qs The Band buttons
The
top part of this window indicates the number of multipliers (left
column) or non-dupe contacts (right column) available on that band. Red numbers indicate the band with
the largest number of contacts (QSOs) available. The left picture shows
a HF version with the HF bands for use during HF contests. The WARC
bands only appear when DX or SATDX are selected as contest. A VHF
version will appear when a VHF contest is selected (right picture).
The band buttons change color per band when a callsign is
entered in the callsign field. The color gives information if this
station is a new multiplier, a new contact or a dupe on this band. So
we can see instantaneously if we need this station on another band.
The active band's button text is shown in bold.
Multiplier List box
The list box shows
the last multipliers received via Packet or Telnet.
There are 4 columns: Call, Frequency, Bearing (Dir), Time (TS). The
format for the time = “mm-dd
hhmm”.
Clicking on the
selected column title will
sort the column, clicking again will reverse the sort order.
