I am working on a 160 meter DXCC submission. Remembering that I had worked FO0AAA on both CW and SSB on 160, I was looking for that to show up on the QSO list generated by the DXCC Award Submission QSO form.
1) If I select just 160 as the award type, then FO0AAA (Clipperton) shows up only on CW on 160. 2) If I select 160 plus MIXED, then FO0AAA shows up only on CW on 160. 3) If I select 160 plus CW, then FO0AAA shows up only on CW on 160. 4) If I select 160 plus PHONE, then FO0AAA shows up only on PHONE on 160. 5) If I select 160 plus CW plus PHONE, then FO0AAA shows up only on CW on 160. 6) If I select 160 plus MIXED plus CW plus PHONE, then FO0AAA shows up only on CW on 160. What I was expecting to do was to generate a single report, by selecting "5" or "6" above, which includes (among lots of other Q's) both my CW and Phone 160 FO0AAA Q's on a single report. There appears no combination of types to do this which will produce this result. If you want to select everything DXCC awardable its necessary to run the module 3 (and perhaps 4) times, one each with CW, Phone and RTTY and maybe Mixed, all with all bands selected (160 thru 10). I do not object to running it multiple times..in fact that is probably the way it should be done, after all there is no Mixed+RTTY, or Mixed+CW+Phone award. Based on modes there are in fact 4 awards. Still I would have expected that by selecting all modes that both Q's would have been included. It seems to me that the way the awards module currently works, it would reduce confusion to NOT allow the user to select more than one type (Mixed, Phone, CW, RTTY) at a time for the reason that the result of selecting more than one type at a time (the way the module currently works) produces unexpected results and could result in not submitting all of one's confirmed band-modes.
