For the FOC marathon why bother with the name in the master.dta anyway?
I used the format 5b4agc/1249 and left the name to the friend.ini to deal
with.
This had the added bonus of working out who it was when you came across
someone sending their number.
It worked just fine for me.
Don't forget you can put the %H on any F-key.
I upgraded to the latest version and liked the new S&P features, but the one
problem I had was every time I tuned around and passed someone on the
band-map it entered their call into the QSO window, even when I had already
worked him on this band.
Surely if I have already worked him this should not happen.
A few times I found myself appending an entry onto this making something
like G3LIKW4QM.
Maybe there is a way of fixing this but I have not worked it out yet, anyone
know the answer?

There's a much better way to do this, by using the
"preset exhange from ADIF file" and creating an ADIF
"log" that has names in it. If your contest doesn't
have a name field, simply add it to the contest exchange
parameters.
Chad:
Great process and I'm sure your file meets your needs.
BUT....
The whole point of Tony - K2SG's message was not the creation of the file,
it was that an entry of greater than 15 characters will cause the
"SUPER PARTIAL CHECK" to malfunction.
There was an entry of 16 characters in his master.dta file and
the process wasn't working. Calls just would not show up, even through they
were in the file.
Hope this clarifies the problem.
Fix - stay to 15 characters or less.
