[Dx4win] Challenge Spots

Tue Nov 8 07:50:07 EST 2011

I surely am not a programmer, but would it be possible to link the "priority" through the Awards?  Then you could set it up for any Award....such as the Challenge to accomplish this desired result.

With the Challenge gaining in popularity  ( Most "Old" Dxers have attained DXCC, WAS, WAZ, etc.) and since most are addicted with the incurable "Ham-O- Holic" Virus, and ARRL is linking the Challenge to LOTW...the numbers of Challenge Chasers is immense.  This would be a great feature in DX4WIN.

Thanks,

I would add my name to the list of requestors for the ability to change the
order of priorities in Packet2.  For example, I just started chasing RTTY
countries, so that mode is not confirmed on any band with any country.  But
if a DX spot appears for a country that I have worked on one band, but not
on another band, it still is always priority 4.  Since I know it will be
awhile before I get the confirmations, I would love to temporarily swap
priority levels 4 and 5.

Yes you have right. This way  (deactivating ssb) you will not see an ssb qso

you need for a band slot.
I don't know a solution. I didn't undertand it ok.
You want ssb qsos but only for new band slots not for new mode. Beside this 
the most important is that dx4win gives priority to the mode and not to the 
band. If a qso is new mode (ssb) and new band also, you will see new mode 
(not interesting for you) but there is no way to know that is a new band.
So you need to change priorites.
I don't think this can be done but it's useful for sure.

Paul, can we define cluster priorities in the next version? For example if i

need the new band to be number 2 and new mode a grey spot, etc...
