Found by tracing the app with a fake skimmer feed, a fake rigctld and
eight tool windows open (about 3,500 spots on the bandmap).
- Drop expired spots from the one-second spot timer instead of from each
window's refresh on the UI thread.
- Bandmap keeps the lists On and All return until the spots change, and
Near searches only the band the frequency is in.
- The Available window replaces its rows at most every two seconds, the
Score window redraws at most once a second, and the Telnet list takes
new lines four times a second at most (RateLimited).
- The bandmap leader line pen is made once.
Idle CPU in that setup went from about 33-70% of one core to about 16-25%.

The summary table labels had no foreground set, so only the highlighted
numbers drew. The window now has the two-line Mults/Qs and Bands/Modes
buttons, a bold summary table, a list sorted on frequency, a ringed picked
row, a tick in the Mlt column and N1MM's empty-list message.
Bands & Modes opens a window with band groups and the CW, Phone, Digital and
Contest modes. The hover text uses SpotDescription like the bandmap, so
control characters and the cluster time are gone. Grid columns keep a
minimum width of their heading in the Available, Statistics and Network
status windows.

Redraws:
- Merge bursts of session and bandmap events into one redraw
(Coalesced). Closed Bandmap and Available windows now unsubscribe.
- Grayline and Voice Keyer no longer subscribe to the session twice.
- Available summary, Score table and Log rows redraw only when their
contents change. Telnet lines are added in batches.
- Bandmap view reuses its layout, shaped text and brushes. Grayline
draws the coastlines as one cached shape.
Threads:
- Available, Bandmap colours, Check and Statistics do their judging
and counting on the thread pool and draw the result on the UI thread.
- ContestLog takes a lock in Judge and in each method that changes the
log, so a background Judge cannot read the indexes mid-edit.
Refresh rate:
- Statistics refreshes every 30 seconds and when the QSO count changes.
- Grayline refreshes at most every 15 seconds on session events.

The window is now a summary table of mults, Qs and totals per band over a
sortable spot grid with Call, Freq, Mode, Dir, Mlt, SN, TS, Spotter, Grid,
Sun, Pts and a preferred-spotter column. Columns can be hidden, headers
sorted, and the list stops re-sorting for six seconds under the mouse.
Adds the Mults / Mults & Qs button, a Bands & Modes filter, delete and
blacklist from the right-click menu, Alt+A stepping, and QSY to the top spot
after logging. Spot gains Snr and IsSkimmer, Bandmap gains Remaining, and
AvailableStation carries the path to the station.
The menu item no longer has apostrophes. SO2R, SO2V and the other missing
pieces are listed in docs/unfinished.md.

Frequency steps, band buttons and bandmap clicks moved the position
before the radio reported back, so the move was never seen. They now
call AppSession.TuneHere, which spots at once.
The spot was also skipped when every required exchange box had text.
Contests that fill those boxes automatically made that true for a
call alone, so the check is removed.

The window manager activates another window when the entry window
minimizes, and raising the windows then restored the entry window.
Raising is now skipped while the entry window is minimized and for a
second after its state changes. Restoring the entry window puts focus
in the callsign box.

Each key press in an entry box ran Refresh, which redraws the entry window

An owned window is transient-for its owner on X11, so the window manager

A QSO logged in Run mode is no longer added to the bandmap as a local

Favourites show the callsign in bold, the address and the sysop's note,
and each keeps its own password, commands, logon call and note. Clicking
one fills the boxes for editing. Autoconnect marks the favourite to
connect to at start and replaces the old reconnect-to-last-node setting.
A new published list refreshes the notes of the favourites in it. The

A contest opening and contacts arriving from the other stations, a

For sh/wwv, only the first record under the header is used, since the

Starting Run stores the frequency in the position. The bandmap draws a
purple, bold "CQ Frequency" pseudospot there, which is not added to the
shared bandmap, and a click on it tunes back and sets Run. A move of more
than 3 kHz (a setting on the telnet Filters tab) while running switches
to search and pounce.

The zoom list gains 60 kHz and a "mode" level that shows the CW, digital

removed; Ctrl with the wheel or plus and minus still change the size.

The radio reports the frequency in small steps as the knob turns, and
each step was compared with the one before, so no step passed the
threshold. The move is now measured from the frequency the radio had
when the call appeared in the entry window. The threshold is a box on
the Filters tab of the telnet window.

With a call in the entry window, a move of more than 2 kHz on the same
band puts the call on the bandmap where it was heard and wipes the boxes,
as N1MM does. The spot goes to the other stations as ADDSPOT and to the
Spots broadcast, never to the cluster. ADDSPOT from other stations is
added to the bandmap.

Lines were as tall as a list item, with padding of more than the text. A

The window picked a brush on the socket thread, and Avalonia crashed the
program the next time it painted that line. A line that arrives is now
posted to the window thread first. Spots no longer show the bell

shown instead of ending it silently.

ApplyNetworkSettings disposed the station link without clearing it, so
ApplyStationLinkSettings disposed it a second time and threw. Only the

Going down N1MM's published list, the ones a contest operator would miss:
| | |
|---|---|
| `{LASTEXCH}` | what the last station sent, built from the boxes the contest asks for |
| `{ROVERQTH}` | where a rover is now |
| `{TIME}`, `{DATE}`, `{TIMEGMT}`, `{DATEGMT}` | the clock and the calendar |
| `{ESC}`, `{CTRL-A}` to `{CTRL-Z}` | the control characters a TNC reads as commands |
| `{CTRLHOME}` | the cursor back in the callsign box |
| `{F1}` to `{F12}` | another of this radio's keys, where `{CTRLF1}` is the other radio's |
| `{CQ}` | makes any key a CQ key: it starts running and carries alternating CQ on |
| `{DIGQTCS}`, `{DIGQTCR}` | opens the WAE QTC window the way asked for |
| `{CLEARRIT}` | the receive offset back to zero, which is rigctld's `J 0` |
| `{FORCELOG}` | logs what is in the boxes, holes and all |
`{FORCELOG}` is the one that gives something up. `LogContact` refuses an entry
that is short or holds a value the contest will not take, so that a caller who
has not checked cannot log nonsense; `LogContactAnyway` is the way past it,
because a contact in the log with a hole in it can be filled in afterwards and
one that was never logged cannot. It still needs a callsign, and the status
line says the row will need fixing before the log goes in.
A key that names itself would send for ever, so a key sending another key
ignores the macro a second time down.
What is still passed over is written down in the README and unfinished.md.
Advanced voicing is the one that matters: N1MM says a callsign or a serial by
playing a recording per letter out of `LettersFiles`, which is why `!` and `#`
say nothing on phone here and why F5 is empty in N1MM's own SSB file too. The
three packet BBS date formats are passed over because there is nothing here to
check a guess at them against.

N1MM records a phone message from the entry window: Ctrl+Shift+F1 to
Ctrl+Shift+F12 records into the file that key plays, and the same pair again
stops and saves it. Escape and sending anything stop one too — there is one
microphone, and it cannot be recorded and transmitted at the same time. The
status line says what is being recorded and what was saved, which is where
N1MM says it.
The recording being made is the session's rather than the window's, for the
same reason: the voice keyer window and these keys record into the same
microphone, and now each can see what the other started.
Alt+K opens the function key editor for the mode the radio is on, which is
N1MM's shortcut for what right-clicking a key button already did.

A phone function key names a wav file instead of words, which is what N1MM's
own SSB file holds: `F1 CQ,{WAVDIR}\Cq.wav`. `{WAVDIR}` is the folder named
after whoever is at the microphone, a name is taken relative to `Wav`, and
commas play several files in a row. An SSB `.mc` file written for N1MM plays
here.
Window ▸ Voice Keyer lists every recording the messages name, says which of
them are there for the operator picked at the top, plays one, and records over
one. The recording is written beside the wanted file and moved over it at the
end, so a recorder that will not start takes nothing away.
`CommandSoundCard` runs `aplay` and `arecord`, and both commands are settings:
the audio path belongs to whatever the station runs, and a library would pick
one of them for the operator. A recorder is stopped with an interrupt so it
closes its wav file, and killed only if it ignores that. PTT is cwdaemon's
`<ESC>a` for as long as the recording plays, off for a station on VOX.
Two things follow. The QTC window sends on SSB: N1MM's four recordings on the
Ready, Agn, Cfm and Close buttons, with the lines still read out by the
operator. And alternating CQ duels on phone, because the voice keyer says when
a recording has finished — which it had to, since the CQ message is picked by
the radio's mode and would otherwise have been keyed as Morse.
Nothing here has been played on a radio: this machine has no sound card, so
what is tested is the program being run, the file filled in, the exit code and
the interrupt, with shell commands standing in for the two.

The score window and the stored Contest.Multiplier1Name row both said
"Prefixes" for an Asian entrant, which counts DXCC entities.
Contest.MultiplierNames is now MultiplierNamesFor(StationInfo me), the
same shape as ExchangeFieldsFor. Every other contest returns the same
list it did before; All Asian returns "Countries" from Asia and
"Prefixes" from everywhere else. ContestDefinitions.For takes the
station as well, because that name is written to the log for N1MM.

A box the walk between the entry boxes steps over cannot be typed in, so it
must not hold the contact back either. `EntryFields.IsComplete` counted every
box marked required, while `MoveFocus` stepped over the ones the contest does
not ask this station for, so a contest with a box for some stations only
could lock the operator out of his own log.
The seven contests the scoring audit named do not do that any more —
`bae40bb` gave each of them the boxes N1MM shows, and fifteen reproductions
across all seven and both station types log cleanly — but the rule they broke
was still there to break again. Completeness now takes the same
applicability rule the cursor uses, and `OperatingPosition` answers it in one
place for the entry window, the ESM window and logging alike.
The audit is marked up for the three findings that are already fixed and for
item 14, which turns out to be what N1MM does rather than a fault.

N1MM has four colours for a station in WAE rather than the usual three, and
the manual and the RTTY tutorial both spell them out. Red is a new
multiplier, as everywhere else. Green is a new station with QTC traffic
still to exchange, which takes the more-than-one-multiplier colour because
WAE has no second multiplier to use it. Black is a station already worked
that still has traffic left — worth working for the QTC points alone — and
it is a colour of its own, N1MM's "Color of a QTC callsign in the WAE
contest". Grey is a dupe with nothing left, the same as in other contests.
The verdict carries how much traffic is left with the station, so the
callsign box, the check window, the bandmap and everything else that colours
a station say the same thing. The contest works the number out: ten with a
station on the other side of the contest, none with one on our own
continent, and none once the ten have gone. Every other contest answers
nought. The log counts the QTC rows per station as they are indexed rather
than counting them again for each station judged, because the bandmap judges
every spot it holds on every pass.
The verdict line says it in words as well, so a dupe reads `dupe · 7 QTCs
left` rather than `dupe`.
