Fw: [Dxbase] Refinements...

[Robert C. Crawford]

Boy, this would really help me out.  As I am sure other low band DX'ers.
Every morning about an hour after sunrise I UNCHECK 160, 80 and 40 meters.
And that evening before sunset I go back in and CHECK 40, 80 and 160 meters
again.  The program knows my SUNRISE and SUNSET time.  It could
automatically check and un-check an hour after sunrise and an hour before
sunset.  What a great help that would be!

We now get the band/mode summary for COUNTRIES or IOTA's.  ZONES would be a
great help also!

THANKS Jack for the great program.  Keep it up!
