Quick notes on NA v4.11
* ARRL 10m contest is supported. Everything should work (it was tested for
100 QSOs in ARRL 160), so please report any bugs to K8CC.
* You will need a copy of ARRL.CTY from a K1EA disk to use as the country
table for the 10m contest. This was done so that people would not have to
update yet another country table. NA omits W, VE, KH6 and KL7, so ARRL.CTY
does not need to be modified in any way. ARRL10.MLT is needed for the W/VE
mults, and is included here.
* When operating ARRL 10m, you can switch modes using the bandswitch keys.
You can have a Voicekeyer on LPT1, and a CW interface on COM1/2 and the
program will fire off the correct messages. Multipliers and dupes are
counted separately per mode.
* New features:
- Ctrl-G (Goto) works just like CT...useful for editing
- Cursor returns to spot in field after move
- Use the # operator to send the serial number within CW memory #2
What this means is that a "#" symbol in CW memory #2 will cause
the QSO nr to be inserted. For example, in SS:
Memory #2 = "NR # B K8CC 69 MICH"
will cause the following to be sent for QSO nr 123:
NR 123 B K8CC 69 MICH
It also works when the INS key is used to send the CALL and
exchange.
* COMMENTS PLEASE!
I thought it might be good to build the HELP SCREEN directly into the
program, rather than as a separate file. The advantage of the separate
file is that you can customize it as you want. The advantages of building
it in is that I can make sure the HELP SCREEN matches the version of the
program, and there is one less file to mess with. Does anybody like or use
this feature?
Along those same lines, the .MLT files for NAS, NAQP & SS are pretty
common, so perhaps they should be built in too. In particular, SS uses the
standard abbreviations from the official ARRL summary sheet. The .CTY table
for ARRL 10m definitely needs to be customizable, for the same reasons as CT.

Note: There will probably be a guest op at K8CC during ARRL 10m, so if you are
in need of help, you can try calling me at home during the contest...
