Thanks Fred for this report. It is slightly different from what I
remember:

As I recall, if you select SO LP, you get FULL PACKET, which of
course is not allowed in that category. That is why I selected SO
AB (unassisted). And ALT-F3 worked fine for sending spots here.
What I wanted, but could not have, was a talk window (ALT-T). I can
understand how this might be difficult to achieve while still
blocking spots, and might even be considered outside the spirit of
the contest, so I do consider it a small point, and not any kind of
bug. The "bug" is that SOLP allows packet (as I recall).
Action step: Prevent SO LP from seeing spots, and possibly add a
talk facility (& wwv?) to the SOU and SOLP categories.

You mean the band map? Or the announce window that mimics the band
map when in unassisted mode? The problem as I see it is your #3
below:

Yes! This is truly schizo. It also seems that stuff entered in the
bandmap with CTL-ENTER goes in as a different color from stuff
entered in the log, even if I put it in there to avoid listening to
more DUPs. I would very much also like to be able to set the cull
time for bandmapped stations, say to 2 hours instead of 1 if I
want to.

Thanks all for a great weekend.
