The program may be minimized and operates in the background. It is possible to import pages saved using Netscape or Internet Explorer. You can only import the DX Summit pages with this command. Other pages may crash the program. The spot time is sent by the DX cluster from which the spot originated.
Some clusters have their clocks set incorrectly.
In order to determine the location of DX spots, DX Monitor uses the CTY.DAT file created by K1EA Software for the excellent CT contest logging program. This file is updated regularly by Jim Reisert, AD1C, to include new countries and special prefixes. Once a day, DX Monitor checks the date of the latest CTY.DAT file and compares it with the one you are using. If your file appears to be older than the latest version, the program will download the new one and replace the old one. The old file will be saved as CTY.OLD, and you will be alerted to the change.
