| # DX Spot Window

This window opens as soon as any new spots have been found, even when they have been filtered out. Use Menu–>Window–>DX Spots if this window has been hidden or minimized. Only the last two hours are shown, and only the latest spot per callsign, band, and mode!

The spots are grouped into several tables:

- all bands below the tab All
- per band 160m - 6m
- all spots, including dupes, under the tab Spots
- WWV and WCY announcements
- “To local” and “To all” announcements

Spot tables can be sorted, reordered, and the column width is adjustable down to 0. Individual 160m - 6m band tables use the same settings: Adjust one table first for your needs. Close the window, quit RUMlog and restart it. All band tables have the same layout now.

The DX station may have a suffix:

- . or ; means LoTW user
- , or ; means eQSL AG member

Use popup menus for additional real-time filters, or the search fields below.

A double click on a spot transfers the callsign, frequency, mode, and the note (optional) to the main logging window if it is visible. A double click on the frequency column tunes your radio and sends the data to the log entry section!

The DX callsign can appear in different text colors:

- Blue - station worked before on this band in this mode, but not confirmed
- Green - station worked before on this band in this mode, and QSO is confirmed

The background of a new one can appear as:

- DX station Purple - a station from the list, not worked this band and this mode
- DX station Brown - a station from the list, worked before this band and this mode
- DXCC Red: DXCC entity never worked
- DXCC Yellow: DXCC entity worked, but never confirmed
- DXCC Magenta: unknown DXCC entity, also used for or /MM or /AM stations
- DXCC Green: DXCC entity new for DX-Marathon (all bands and mixed only)
- band Red: Entity never worked on this band
- band Yellow: Entity worked on this band before, but never confirmed
- mode Red: Entity never worked in this mode
- mode Yellow: Entity worked in this mode before, but never confirmed
- band and mode Blue: slot never worked
- band and mode Green: slot worked before, but never confirmed
- IOTA Red: island never worked
- IOTA Yellow: island worked before, but never confirmed
- CQ zone Red: CQ zone never worked
- CQ zone Yellow: CQ zone worked, but never confirmed
- CQ zone Blue: CQ zone not worked on this band
- CQ zone Green: CQ zone not confirmed on this band, but worked
  or
- CQ zone Green: CQ zone new for DX-Marathon (all bands and mixed only)

These colors are set by default! You can change them in Preferences–>DX Alarm–>Set colors

The contest module uses a separate spot window, see the contest section for further information.
