[LogPlus] Packet Window While Logging.

Thu, 24 Jan 2002 22:36:35 -0500

Bob, not sure if I understand correctly; however I always like to
know who has spotted the dx.  eg-west vs east coast spots,
north vs south....
Also I always liked Ver3 for the colour highlighted band strip.
A quick glace would tell me if I needed the spot rather than
looking to the top of the screen to read if I needed or not.
Good Luck, will upgrade as soon as the bugs are out of the
windows version. Looking forward to it !!! 73 Glenn VA3DX
