I am getting it now....
So, if you had a "domestic"filter option to hide the W spots you would
prefer that....and
I also gather that you would like to have an option to limit the amount of
time a posting stays in the bandmap....
That is a whole different nut - seems like the software should be able to be
readily adapted as far as time showing for a spot...would recommend you go
to a dedicated reflector for the software you are using...i.e. NA Reflector
or CT Reflector and go from there.
73, now I understand your dilemma!
By the way did you know that it is only 40 days until the
Florida QSO Party....
