Re: updating bandplan.txt
Hi Pat,
Thanks for your follow up.? Keep in mind that support files, including the band plan file, also are updated each time Jim does a country update release, so if you modify the file in other ways, keep a backup and replace the update each time, or you will lose your modifications.
Also keep in mind you can choose not to display digital modes by deselecting this option here:
Enjoy!

Hi Scott.? So if you edit this file you can remove any trace of FT65, FT8, FT4 etc.? That is really cool.? Thank you, thank you, thank you. ? Regards, ? Pat – KZ5J ?

Hi Phil,

Well, first use of the N3JFP's logging in some months. I must have forgot some basics. I made a couple of DX CW contacts, did not press 'spot last' and yet when I logged the contact it appeared twice in the spot section.

Re: Background Colors - QSO Rate Graph & HamDash screens
Use an image editor. You can try inverting the image (negative colors) or use an Replace Color tool like what is found in Irfanview to replace the black with any color of your choice.

Re: Background Colors - QSO Rate Graph & HamDash screens
Since writing my above message, have now discovered the HamDash main screen can be easily customized to a more printer friendly background (via the setting wheel).? But the QSO Rate line graph can not be changed from its black background (at least not that I can find).

Hi Scott,
? ?I'm sorry I did not write down the band, county, etc. I should have paid attention more closely to that. I do remember it was the same band and mode. I was picking call signs off the band strip ( I forget the true name) off to the side. It only happened a couple of times and did not hinder me at all.?

Hi Gary,
Thanks for your e-mail.? If you click Settings > Allow Duplicates, you will be able to log them, but the software will still warn you.? There isn't a way to disable it entirely.
Make sure you didn't long the station on a different band or mode, or indicate he was in a different county (or you were).

I've been archiving my contest results by grabbing screen shots or copying three windows (plus other things like stats):?
?? Main Log Screen
?? HamDash Window
?? QSO Rate line graph
?
The Main Log screen is fine, but the HamDash screen has a prominent (and attractive) blue background, and QSO Rate graph is a thin green line on a solid black background.? Printing those two windows wastes a HUGE amount of blue / black ink - plus results in difficult to read pages.? Sure wish there was some way to control or eliminate those solid background colors when printing.
?
Thanks ...... Fred,? W9KEY

Hi Dean,
Thanks for the report.? On what band, mode and county was the previous QSO?? On what band, mode and county was the current contact occurring?

A suggestion for future consideration ....
?
I've been archiving my contest results by grabbing screen shots or copying three windows (plus other things like stats):?
?? Main Log Screen
?? HamDash Window
?? QSO Rate line graph
?
The Main Log screen is fine, but the HamDash screen has a prominent (and attractive) blue background, and QSO Rate graph is a thin green line on a solid black background.? Printing those two windows wastes a HUGE amount of blue / black ink - plus results in difficult to read pages.? Sure wish there was some way to control or eliminate those solid background colors when printing.
?
Thanks ...... Fred,? W9KEY
