My bandmap shows the station just worked with an asterik before the call 
( * ) and is colored for new and in uppercase.

Tom is correct that the SCOREWINDOW needs to be in your rules file, even 
though on the man page it says to put it in your logcfg file.

With using =qso the check window opens with 40 meters hi-lited and a C 
on the right side, even if you are on a WARC band. Using either =contest 
or =dxped you do not get this behavior. In all 3 cases you get a MUL: 1 
even with a blank log file.

I guess it might be best to leave it as it is.
