The asterisk says the spot comes from yourself (any logged station will
get spooted in the internal network). If it is a dupe (you had worked
him) it normaly goes to lower case and grey. But that does not work on
non-WARC band for now. 

I just checked - changing it would be a lot of work because we do a
band statistics per call at the moment only for the contest bands.

Here it opens on 40 hi-lted - but only for around 1 second. After
reading the frequency from the rig it highlites the correct band for
me. No C at startup.

What really is not working well is the search window, which mixes up the
display if you have stations on non-WARC bands.

Right. That multi is fixed in these cases.
