4.55.0 (Jan 16, 2025)

- PACC : Self spot allowed. Tnx PA2A.

- FOC Marathon : Rules updated. Tnx DL6KVA.

- Bugfix : When the callsign field was empty, and the previous QSO
   was from the same entity as yours, using Alt-F12 or Ctrl-F12 was
   turning the antenna to 0 deg / 180 deg while it was not supposed to.
   Tnx N6TV.

- Mixed mode contests : Elecraft K3 and K4 are now set to the correct
   mode if the "Pass to Sub-Vfo frequency" was used in the radio or
   the Alt-A windows. Tnx N6TV.

- New items added to the RadioWnd contextual menus to turn the antenna
   when right-clicking on a spot. Tnx SM6VTZ.

- When corrupted QSO are found when loading the log, and you accept
   Win-Test to fix it, a textual error file is generated with data
   regarding the corrupted records so you can try to find information
   on these QSO. Tnx F1ULQ/9L5A.

- Spots coming from a skimmer with the same callsign as the log
   are now considered the same way as the op-entered. If you have one
   (or more) local skimmer(s) with a different callsign, they can be
   added using the Options / DX-cluster / Additional local skimmers...
   dialog box.

   To make these spots stand out in the bandmap list, an option has
   been added to move them at the top of the list, while maintaining
   the selected sort order.

   To make things clearer and more consistent, the op-entered spots
   and the spots coming from a local skimmer are now all named
   "local spots".

- 9A DX contest : Self spotting allowed in SSB added. Tnx DC8YZ.

- Freq / Callsign order reversed for self-spots to be consistent with
   Alt-F3. Tnx DC8YZ.

- Russian 160m : Points credit updated. Tnx R2AA.

- ARRL 160, ARRL SS, ARRL FD : Alt-Z window slightly redesigned to add
   prefixes to the overseas territories.

- ARRL SS LCR parser improved. Tnx N6TV.

- Bugfix : When a partial frequency was entered that corresponded to
   a band, but was not used in the contest, the frequency was ignored.
   Ex : "432" on 10m during a CQWW DX. Tnx F4CWN.

- Solar data window : When the window is opened, a SH/WWV or SH/WCY
   request is automatically sent to ensure the latest data are
   available.
