<DIV>It is as much use as you care to make it. Ignore it if you wish or take advantage of knowing that DXCC credit for LoTW users will be near certain for a QSO with a DX station whose spot carries the "+" flag. </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Lee VE7CC already introduces the flag in his auto-updating user application thus negating some requirement for Spider to carry it. However non-VE7CC users could benefit from it being in Spider. ARC seems to have no difficulty in managing it, however I don't know what 'database in its current form' refers to and if it's a nightmare to implement in Spider then the consensus might rule the decision. Such feeling against it wasn't aired on the support list was it? I don't recall it anyway.</DIV>
