[Dx4win] LATEST COUNTRY FILE PROBLEM?

[Kostas SV1DPI]

dx4win looks at first the notes of every spot
if it find there a word like cw or rtty or ssb then dx4win count this spot 
like this mode
if nothing related in notes then reads the frequency (if it is available) 
and count the spot as cw or ssb (this is depended by file>preferences> cw 
frequency cutoff)
so let's suppose you worked to5fj on 40m cw
and there is a spot like

7020 TO5FJ very loud

if you have Alert unconfirmed country checked the spot will be yellow
if not the spot will be gray

another one

7085 TO5FJ really strong

the spot will be blue as dx4win thinks that this is ssb and this is a new 
mode for you...
or yellow if Alert is checked

Another one
7085 TO5FJ pse qsy cw
then dx4win will think that the station is working cw and will spot it like 
gray!!

that is dx4win gives a priority to notes of the spot and after the freq.

I hope now is clear
