Has anyone else had my recent experience with multiple "spots" from a single callsign showing up in Spotcollector at the same time. In one instance a Polish station nearly filled the entire Spotcollector screen? This just happened again with two or three callsigns showing up, filling the page.
I do not think it is a Spotcollector issue per se but likely something from each of the Networks. Weird behavior, never experienced it before.

Re: spotcollect vs dxview grid for vk9xu

not sure why but if I type in vk9xu in to DXview it shows their grid as OH29 (heading of 334 degrees)
BUT
if I click on vk9xu in spotcollector it shows their grid as OC00 (heading of 185 degrees)

+ In the General panel on the General tab of SpotCollector's Configuration window, is the "Capture location info from notes" option enabled? If so, SpotCollector will give credence to any grid squares appearing in spot notes. ? ? ? ?73, ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? Dave, AA6YQ

Re: spotcollect vs dxview grid for vk9xu
if I click on vk9xu in spotcollector it shows their grid as OC00 (heading of 185 degrees) Where are you seeing OC00 in SpotCollector? I see DXGrid of OH29 which matches DXView (OH29mm) as well as the VK9XU entry on QRZ.com (OH29tm). any ideas? The large difference in heading is because VK9X is very close to the antipode for you and headings flop very wildly from E/W and N/S around the antipode. 73, ...

Would there be any chance to add that functionality to the right click menu from the SC display?
+ Adding a callsign to the Special Callsign List with a BadSource tag is an infrequent operation, and thus doesn't merit a place on the Spot Database Display's right-mouse menu.

Re: Backup Request Enhancement
You could always add a "Don't show this again" box to the prompts.

The actions on the right click menu all apply to the *spotted station*
not the *spotting station*. Adding functions that relate to more than
one station/callsign might get a bit confusing.

Re: Rec'd QSL Card, Now What?
Did I manage to somehow lock the form so I can't do anything ham fisted and mess up my log? In Config -> General -> Main "Log QSOs options" ... is "Require Edit to modify logged QSOs" checked? That is the new install default? If so, on the Log QSOs tab, click the "Edit" button (second from left just above the log grid) before you try to modify the QSO. BTW, when receiving a QSL, it is easier to simply click Edit then the CFM button (beside the QSL Sent box) than manually setting RCVD=Y and entering the date. 73, ...
