[Dx4win] Packet spotting colors etc

Mon, 21 Jan 2002 13:56:46 -0500

The one thing that I would like to see if being able to set a high priority 
for a country that I have previously worked, but have not confirmed (for 
whatever reason I am assuming that there are some that I may never get 
confirmation).  I would prefer to just continue to work a country until I 
get the confirmation.
