DXCC Band Slot Table

The DXCC Band Slot Table is best suited to summarize the DXer's performance in terms of working the most possible DXCC countries on the given DXCC Bands by using the defined DXCC Modes. Among the various DXCC Displays in TurboLog 4, the DXCC Listings and the DXCC Summary the Band Slot Table offers the most compacted view of the DXCC database in your log.

The Band Slot Table is available from the Options > DXCC Operations sub menu. The following is a screen shot from this table:

Figure 318:   DXCC Band Slot Table

The philosophy behind the numbers is as follows:

As defined by the ARRL's DXCC board there currently are four DXCC Modes: CW, Phone, Digital and Satellite. CW and Satellite are unique Modes other than the group modes Digital and Phone which both cover a subset of Modes. For example: Digital includes RTTY, PSK31, JT65, etc  and Phone is a container for SSB, AM, FM, etc. By definition the table will only display your achievements within the Digital and Phone group in a compacted line entry. Thus, individual members of the groups will not be displayed separately in the Band Slot Table. However, numbers are in total accordance with the DXCC Summary Display. More detailed insights into the group modes ... if wanted ... are provided by the DXCC Listings.

The default display mode of the Band Slot Table is controlled by your settings in the Configuration menu on the DXCC tab sheet.

In the style of the DXCC Listings the following controls are available:

Scope:

Continent:

The user can select continents from the drop down list  for analysis:

For the time being the default is on World.

CQ Zone:

For ease of operation the drop down box offers zone numbers 1 ... 40 in order to select from.

ITU Zone:

For ease of operation the drop down box offers zone numbers 1 ... 90 in order to select from.

Please note:

Countries covering more than one zone will be called by each of its zone numbers.

The countries found with respect to these categories will be counted in the Band Slot Table.

We do not distinguish between the time periods with respect to QSL status. The only question of interest concerning QSLs is whether the card was received or not, regardless of time period.
