Hi
I think it would be possible to add a differnt worked/confirmed colour to the DXCluster spotting, but Band/Mode poses a bigger problem, as there is no exact indication from the DXcluster regarding modes.
Modes can only be assumed by the actual frequency entered with 'spots' e.g. CW section/Phone section of each band, not much problem with CW/SSB but sorting out the digital modes would be a real headache, VHF too has mixed mode in the phone section, all in all I think it will cause more confusion to have incorrect indications of Band/Mode/Worked from Winlog32 than to have non at all.
Having said that I am certinly happy to go along with the majority's wishes on this subject.....

Hi Colin,
I think it's not this big problem to decide weather a spot is digi/ssb/cw. For SSB/CW simply take a valid bandplan, for digi-modes scan for key-words like "rtty", "fsk", "psk",... . Using frequency info to say if it's digi or something else results in a desaster when you get a thousand of contest spots from big contests, like CQWW CW.
I'm using the RXCLUS software from HB9BZA for digi-mode alerts and it's ok with key-words.
HNY and good DX!
