Paul and the Group,

                Looks like my wishes have been answered with the NEW
BAND, group 3 category.   The column that will add the ranking makes it
perfect, at least for me.   The ability to set the colors also allows
one to make any category equal in ranking on the screen by setting to
the same scheme.   That was also a way in the past to turn off unwanted
combinations by setting them to the normal blk/white display.  For me I
can have 3 displays that will attract my eye, new country, mode or band
all else shown in blk/white.

              I will make a suggestion but not being a programmer I
don't know how much in terms of writing code that I'm asking for.  It
might be to much and not practical to implement.  But here goes..   How
about a user definable category 9.   It would be a super category that
could define most anything.  For instance the selections could include
Band, Mode, Country, Zone, Prefix  If say parenthesis defined logic "or"
and / was logic "and".   It would be possible to select and make most
anything.  Say I wanted only brand new countries, new band zones and new
prefixes. By selection I could end up with ;   C / (BZ) / P.
A not function could be implemented to take care of confirmed or
unconfirmed status.    By selection and looking in the comment field of
the spot even IOTA capability could be added.   Paul, if I'm asking for
the moon here and something of this magnitude would be too burdensome to
implement, I'll apologize in advance for bringing it up.  I would have
sent this direct but you did ask for replies via the reflector.

73, Bob
