[MacLoggerContest] [DogParkList] MacLoggerDX V5 for Cocoa 5.01b3

[Jonathan G0DVJ]

In terms of what else would be useful in the contest helper window ...  
a simple traffic light or status line indicator of whether the call  
typed is a new DXCC, new IOTA, new Zone (ITU/CQ) since the same  
criteria already used for the dupe check (i.e. date and time plus  
optional same band) so can see at a glance if the station you hear is  
of higher value (can just ignore it in contests where there are no  
mults).

My previous post was typed very quick so apologies if it wasnt very  
clear about the link between SCP and Dupe check.   Happy to try to  
explain better if needed!
