Spot Collector wanted DXCC ONLY, no states, no zones, no continents...


 


With my spots database having over 3500 entries, the only "wanted" items are DXCC items.? No continents, no zones, etc.? I'm finding it hard to believe that not even ONE entry is on a band-zone or band-continent that I need.? What have I done / not done here?

Thanks,

What have you configured for your award objectives in
DXKeeper -> Config -> Awards?

I'm finding it hard to believe that not even ONE entry is on a band- zone or band-continent that I need.
I don't believe SC tracks WAC/5BWAC/Single Band WAC but alerts for
CQ Zones/bands/modes are controlled by what you have selected in
WAZ Bands & Modes.

+ DXLab does not provide Realtime Award Tracking for any award whose primary counters are continents.

+ Direct SpotCollector to create a local spot of a station whose band-zone is "needed" for WAZ. Right-click the resulting Spot Database Entry and select "Display Award Tracking for ..." from the popup menu. Inspect the small "Award Tracking for..." window that appears. Does it accurately explain why the Spot Database Entry is not highlighted as "needed"?

OK, I spotted VU2TST (locally only) on 14.070 with "RTTY" in the note.

The listing shows up as RTTY in CQ Zone 22, which I have NOT worked.

The "Need" column shows only a "D".RAT shows only DXCC, all the other windows are blank.? The log path name is correct.

Oh.? I guess I have to turn ON RAT if I want to use it...

Thanks for the shove in the right direction!
