[RRDXA] Activity Announcements

[Uwe Könneker]

Moin Stefan,

I still see an advantage in these announcements, especially as it allows me 
to "decode" the various short calls .. and its operator behind. For example 
I do not report everybody to the cluster! :-). But I do not have an issue 
with the announcements as I also use outlook-rules and colours to 
distinguish. And of course I could also visit the webpage to see!

However I agree that
- we could have limit announcements to the ones with "yes"
- or alternatively we could have a "daily summary" in order to limit the # 
of mails

Just my 2 Cents!

Thanks and vy 73
                    Uwe, DL8OBF
