After spending some time figuring out how to enter award information
into xlog, I decided to write up a brief summary in case others may
find it useful. Thanks to all who posted bits of this information
in previous posts. Please let me know if you find errors.

XLOG Awards Tracking

DXCC, WAC, WAZ:

These are scored automatically when a QSO is logged. If a country is
not recognized, it should show up in "Tools -> Find unknown countries".
In this case use enter DXCC-country_prefix into the AWARDS field,
eg. "DXCC-FS" (for St. Martin).

IOTA:

Enter IOTA-code into the AWARDS field, eg. "IOTA-NA-032".

WAS:

Enter WAS-state, eg. "WAS-AK".

GRID:

Enter at least 4 characters of the grid-square locator into the
"Locator" field. eg. "EN92KO". Only the first 4 characters are displayed
in the GRID list. This field is not displayed by default and you
may have to edit your log (Tools -> Log Editor).

Multiple Awards:

Enter them into the AWARDS field, separated by a comma and with
no whitespace between them. eg. "WAS-AK,IOTA-NA-019"

Scoring Window:

When a call is entered into the logging window, the top-right of the
scoring window displays what awards that call/QSO can be used for and
how many QSOs have been logged with that prefix. An "X" means
that a QSO has been confirmed (i.e. QSL card) for that prefix/band.

In the bottom-right of the scoring window the top set of numbers
is the number of QSOs and the bottom set of numbers is the number
of QSL cards received.
