[Dx4win] DX spot colors revisited

Tue, 2 Sep 2003 20:49:58 -0500

Jim,

I understand your logic but it doesn't fit everybody.  While I'm pretty
serious about Mixed, Phone, and CW DXCC, I have never fully gotten into
chasing band countries for the single band DXCC awards.  I have =
absolutely
nothing against chasing band countries, it was just a personal choice I =
made
not to do it.

I got my 5BDXCC back in 1984 before the ARRL kept band country records.
When the single band awards came out I decided it was too much trouble =
to
round up all the cards and send them in again.  Guess you could make the
observation that I was just too lazy! =20

So, for me the following works best:

1 =3D Never Worked
2 =3D Never Worked Mode
3 =3D Unconfirmed Mode
4 =3D Never Worked Band
5 =3D Unconfirmed Band

I think making it user configurable would be the best solution.  That =
way
everybody is happy.=20

73,
Dave, W0VX

I think I boiled the priorities down to three simple rules:

1.  All-time never worked has the highest priority.

2.  When both entities are unworked or both entities are
     worked but not confirmed, mode has priority over band.

3.  When one entity is unworked and the other is worked
     but not confirmed, the unworked entity has priority
     over the worked entity.

The priorities I suggested earlier seem to embody these requirements:

   1 =3D never worked
   2 =3D never worked mode
   3 =3D never worked band
   4 =3D unconfirmed mode
   5 =3D unconfirmed band

Does this make sense to everyone?
