[Dxbase] Refinements...

[Al Bailey]

I think DXBase is by far the best logging program out there and every 
year we get some additional refinements to enhance what is already a 
great product. For the next release I would like to suggest two 
refinements that would help some of us Top Band and Zone chasers.

Every morning about 30 to 45 minutes after sunrise I have to click 
the following to avoid unwanted Top Band U.S. spots.

User Options
Alert
40M CW
40M SSB
80M CW
80M SSB
160M CW
160M SSB
OK

That is 9 mouse clicks. Now in the evening just prior to sunset I 
have to do the reverse of that operation.

I would like to see some method implemented to either avoid ANY mouse 
clicks, or at best a Icon to click which would invoke a macro to do 
them all at once. Another method would be to use the PC clock along 
with the grey line and have the program automatically turn them on or 
off at a given time before sunset and after sunrise. In fact that 
could be a user option as to what amount of time he/she wants.

The second refinement I would like to see is the program track zones 
and some reports made to show the totals per band.

To Jack and the group as well as all DXBase users best wishes for the 
holidays.
