Yes, you can put PJ* in the "Callsign Alert" field in your PACKET1
preferences. The spots will come up as black-on-yellow (i.e. new
all-time, never worked).  Even if you work the station, it will STILL
come up as black-on-yellow the next time.  This has worked since
Version 7, maybe earlier.

The yellow/blue/red spots work fine for me with the latest country
file.  Just work all the PJ stations you hear that are not
gray-on-white or black-on-white.  Using the wildcard, you'll have to
check each call to see if you have worked them before, not as
effective IMO.
