[Dxbase] Possible Upgrade

[Gary AL9A]

Bill,

There are two ways you can check for new band-countries in DXB now without a 
band map.

If you connect to a DX spotting cluster and feed the spots into DXB the DX 
Info window will show you new ones for band or mode for that particular 
country.  Go to Tools/Options/User Options... and click on the Alerts tab to 
set up what you want to display in the DX Info window including alert colors 
for the Need column.

If you don't connect to a DX Cluster, but just enter the calls by hand as 
you hear them, keep an eye on the Summary window when you enter the call. 
The window will populate your stats for that country prefix (assuming you 
have HF-COUNTRY selected as the summary report).  If you see an empty field 
for the band you're on work him!  This is a new one!

73,
Gary AL9A
