Thanks Don.  Great stuff.
Was so dozy last night I kept forgetting to mention I had spotted the  
tool tips typos!   You caught them anyway!


While we are on the contest helper window ...

In the same way that you used colors with cluster spots to show DXers  
if the spot would be a new DXCC or WAZ or confirmed/unconfirmed  
etc ... would it be difficult to colour the call entered & shown in  
the helper window (or the SCP list) to show contesters if that call  
would be a new DXCC or zone or neither or both but subject to the date/ 
time & band settings already set in the helper window (i.e. only for  
the context of the contest being done) ...
(e.g. black if neither, blue if new DXCC, green if new zone, turquoise  
if both, ... oh and red - only text, no blob -  if dupe!)

This would give contesters some indication whether a particular call  
would be of extra value in contests that have country or zone mults.

Thanks again Don,
