DX spotting

Used RUMlogNG for the first time in CQWW this past weekend. Thanks so much for all the work associated with creating this great software.

I had one question.. when in contest mode and I want to spot either the station I have entered in the callsign field or the Q already logged (most recently logged), how do I do that?? The macros in the terminal window don’t seem to pick up the contest log current or previous callsign (and associated freq). I resorted to manually typing in the cluster terminal window. I was wondering if there was a way or setting to get the terminal macros to pick up the call and freq info from the contest log? Or maybe there is a shortcut key sequence that would allow you to spot the call in the callsign field or the most recently logged call?

Thanks much
Scott, N3RA

There is no provision for that in the contest interface. I could add it on the To Do list.

If you ever want to add that and need someone to test it, I would be glad to do that. I think it would be a really useful feature to be able to quickly send a spot from the contest log screen. Thanks again

:o It's already included since November 2018. :o
See Menu-->Contest-->Send current QSO as dx spot. When there is an entry in the callsign field, this station will be spotted. Otherwise the last saved QSO.

:shock: :shock: :shock: :shock: Wow. I am so NOT observant.. Thanks.. I don't see one, but does it happen to have a keyboard shortcut? Like ctrl S or something? THANKS again and sorry for the dumb question.

You don't see it?
There is no short cut, but you can add a short cut by yourself using the System Preferences.
