For those who notice such things, the last general release of NA was version 10.66 back in March 2008. Since then, there have been a couple of limited releases as we worked to debug problems or develop new features. 10.69 has been used in several contests from the K8CC station and is quite stable.

The primary reason for 10.69 is to support rule changes for the CQ 160M contest, where DX stations now send their CQ zone in their exchange rather than a poorly defined country abbreviation. Prior NA versions can be used under these new rules by simply typing in the received zone, but 10.69 adds convenience because it inserts the CQ zone automatically for non-domestic (W/VWE) stations.

Changes in Revision 10.69

• Updated Cabrillo file formatting to revision 3.0, and changed the Log File Information screen to more accurately support the Cabrillo descriptions for entry categories.
• Revised CQ 160 Contest to default received exchange for DX QSOs to their CQ zone to support new rules for 2009.

Changes in Revision 10.68

• Corrected RS-232 command protocol error with setting radio frequency
  for FT817/857.
• CW sending would not work correctly in mixed mode with RTTY enabled.
• Band selection window would not allow de-selecting unused bands.
• In contests with list+DX multipliers, the Alt-M multiplier window would not show the DX mults.
• In CQWW, when checking zone-QSOs with F10, QSOs would be shown with the country of the zone multiplier instead.
• In CQWW, the QSOs Per Multiplier breakdown for zones were inaccurate.
• Fixed crash with the Bandchanges Per Hour breakdown and made the breakdown always appear along with the QSOs Per Hour breakdown (used to only appear in contests with limits on multi-op bandchanges).
• Added report in .BRK file for the number of CQs called and the number of times stations were called during the contest.
• Added capability to set the non-active VFO with the minus key on Yaesu FT817/857 radios.

Changes in Revision 10.67

• When using SO2R, the default RST on the alternate radio would always be
  599 regardless of the mode.
• Callsigns with non-standard portables needed to be matched on the full callsign to correctly identify the country (example: 9M6/N1UR = Spratly,
  not East Malaysia).
• Added option to send QSO numbers by band-mode, in addition to the current option to send QSO numbers by band.
• Reallocated two characters from the end of the "Address2" field on the Information Sheet to the "Club" field accommodate the name "Society Of Midwest Contesters".
