[WT-support] Proposal: Announce & Band Map Enhancement

[Bernhard Buettner]

Hi WT folks,

During Ukrainian DX Contest the following ideas for an enhancement of 
the Announce and Band Map windows came to my mind (again):

a) Create an option for the Announce window, where Op-entered spots (~) 
become sticky and remain at the bottom of the window, while incoming 
cluster spots wander out of the focus when new ones arrive. Background: 
With the high volume of spots of today, Op-entered spots are lost from 
the operator's view very quickly. With this option, they would be more 
meaningful again.

b) Create a new color for "high value QSOs". In UKDXC Ukrainian stations 
are worth 10 points, while EU only counts 2 and DX 3 points. 
Strategically, you are looking for the low hanging fruits first. 
Wouldn't it be great if the high value QSOs would stand out in the 
Announce Window and in the Band Map?

c) Create an additional sort option in the textual band map to sort the 
band map (list) by QSO value, with the high value QSOs on the top. 
Multipliers first, then high value QSOs, then low value, then zero 
value.

Not sure if this is feasible but I think it would be helpful for my 
style of operating (much S&P). What do you think?
