JD1BMM and overrides


Phil Cooper
 

Dave and the group,

I now have the correct info showing for JD1BMM, after having entered the
grid, zone etc.

Prior to this, I had never entered any data in the line, other than call and
country. I guess maybe it has been sheer coincidence that all other calls
have worked OK, but I connect to a DXSpider cluster, which does append grids
to most calls, but not all.

I tried "local" spots for a few other calls that were in the overrides
panel, but didn't have grid, zone etc specified, and they all appeared to
work as expected. Among others.
I will now complete ALL the boxes when I enter an override!

Thanks for the help, as always, and it is appreciated.

Glad you got it sorted, Phil.

Until the most recent releases of SpotCollector and DXView, the only things you could specify in an override were callsign callsign and DXCC entity. The expansion was required to enable SpotCollector to accurately highlight spot database entries needed for WAZ, Marathon, IOTA, VUCC, WAS, etc. (of these, only WAZ is currently implemented).
