Hello Win-Test Team:

I did Marconi Memorial Contest last weekend using Win-Test and came up
with a few ideas. First of all, the program worked nicely for DJ5CL,
DL6RAI and DK0MN with no problems at all. However there is always
room for improvement. Maybe you can comment on this.

a) The QTH locator field has some hidden characters. As it is being
processed in INSERT mode, one can shift characters out to the right
of the field and they become visible again when deleting a character
in the first six positions. Maybe it's a good idea to process this
field in OVERWRITE mode?

b) It would be nice if one could search by QTH locator. Often that's
all you have at some point in time and you'd like to find out if a
station with this locator has been worked before - if not it's probably
worth waiting for him to sign his call.

Ideally, putting the locator in the respecitive field would bring up
all stations in the Check Partial Window that match this QTH.

c) Transverter support - would be very much appreciated...

d) Pressing Alt-F3 should prepare the spot including the received
QTH locator.

e) Please support DTB or SCP files with more than one QTH locator
for a single callsign. Stations often use different QTHs during the
year and it is advantageous to list all of them.
