I've written extensively about MMTTY as well, and would love perfect 
integration of it. As for SP/LP headings, I map shortcuts (CTRL+S and 
CTRL+L) and they work perfectly. What I would LOVE to see is a way to 
offset automatically on a band-spot. I have a 40m rotatable dipole 
that's offset 90 degrees. I would love to be able to set the program 
up that it does two things: one, because it's a rotary dipole, it 
calculates the fastest heading to turn to, and b) calculates and 
applies the 90 degree offset automatically.

My wish-list is about 30 items now. 5B WAZ tracking, reporting and 
alerting is my number-one request right now. I want bells and 
whistles to go off when a needed band-zone shows up. Right now I have 
a complex series of alarms set up, but that would simplify it dramatically.

With Jack's new job, though, I'm wondering if there WILL be a new 
version in the foreseeable future. I gotta say, I love DX Base, but I 
need more features in a logger now. Bandmapping, integration with 
Ionoprobe, etc. and NOT an MDI interface. I want to run parts of my 
logging software on both monitors without a constraining box.
