See History for previous build notes.

5.4 (40119) Beta 2025-07-28

Change: Force the XQ log column to always visible. Position the column left-most in the table each time you open a log file. Add a tooltip for the column referencing the Log > Explain ... command.

Change: Update the list of British Columbia districts for BC QSO Party. Thanks VA7BEC.

Fix: RSGB IOTA was flagging QSOs with World Stations as eXcluded because region code "-" wasn't recognized.

5.4 (40118) Beta 2025-07-19

New: Great Circle Map with ITU Zones for WRTC 2026.

New: Display DXSpider seeMe spots as yellow dots on GCM maps. Use set/seeme to enable, unset/seeme to disable. Clears when list of seeMe spots radio changes band. Radio 1 only.

Improvement: Do not allow practice S&P stations to be created outside of ham bands.

Fix: IARU Society code for Austria changed from OEVSV to OV. Thanks W6FB.

Fix: The Practice Start/Stop button title didn't change to Start when a practice was stopped by reaching the "Disable after n successful QSOs" limit.

5.4 (40117) Beta 2025-07-05

Fix: IARU HF Championship wasn't apply needed fonts and colors to calls in partials pane. Thanks JH1GHM.

Change: Callsign validity testing now uses the same regex as used by DXLog.

Change: The SQ column title is changed to XQ, for eXcluded QSO (AKA X-QSO).

The symbol is changed to a red X.
The text in a row marked as excluded is italicized.
“Excluded” implies that the QSO is not considered by SL when testing for dupes and multipliers, and does not contribute to score.
The XQ column appears as the first column in the log table for new users.

Change: The default lower edge for the 160m phone subband is now 1900 kHz (was 1840) to stop generally unwanted mode changes from CW to SSB.

Change: KPA1500 TCP Enable turns on power as a side-effect, Power off disables as a side-effect.

New: World Radiosport Team Championship 2026 contest in the Other U-Z group.

Previous WRTC logs open with this rules set.
Opening a WRTC log turns on the "Do not use the SCP database" and "Do not use the Exchange database" options. Change them back for other logs in Logging settings.
Prefilling society/official exchanges from internal multiplier databases (as for IARU HF Championship) is not supported. Prefilling ITU zones is supported. Prefilling from logged QSOs is supported.
Adding society/official information to Notes field when logging a QSO is disabled.
Broadcasting QSO and Score information remains to be addressed.

5.4 (40116) Beta 2025-06-26

Fix: All Asian Contest Outside wasn't identifying zero-point QSOs.

Fix: Log > Reset Log wasn't reseting the internal exchange database containing records from the log being reset. Thanks W2RU.

Fix: Dragging the splitters in Panadapter windows and the DXCluster windows was doing nothing in Tahoe.

Fix: Crash when clicking a Fonts and Colors color well in Logging Settings on Tahoe.

Fix: The passband extension into Panadapter Sub Receiver waterfall was not being hidden after frequency is stable for a bit.

Change: Help > DXSpider Spot Filtering now opens a W3BG/N3RD tutorial.

Change: Modified the default (new user) spot filter definition.

Change: Rewrote the Spot Filters section in the SL Guide.

Change: Increased the width of spot lines in Waterfall displays to increase visibility.

Change: Waterfall color is now gray and signal intensity overlay opacity is now 0.25 to improve visibility of dark and black spot overlays.

Change: Revised the polling rate scheme for ICOM radios to accommodate older models.

Change: Updated the IARU Societies database: Added LCAS (5A) and SKNARS (V4), changed (4J) name and code, changed UBA name, disambiguated ARAS-4J and ARAS-6W. Thanks K1ZZ.

Change: Altered colors in Panadapter views to match K4 colors, except waterfalls are grayscale.

New: Lines in the DXCluster spot filter editor can be commented out by beginning them with '#'.

New: For General Logging, if you enter a valid Maidenhead grid in the QSO Info entry field, SkookumLogger sets the target point to that grid when you tab or spacebar out of the field.

New: CQ WW VHF Contest is replaced by separate contests for SSB/CW and for Digi.
