careful - you are dating yourself!
if the software is automatically assigning a time to a QSO, I think the
point is why not make it a more accurate one...since it is a question of
changing the program by the author you see it here ( I am guessing )
The software already has a longer version of the date it works from than the
one you "see" on the output - it also has the date in it - so - why not make
a more accurate time than XXYY?
I assume that Sante has also sent this to the author on the website as that
is where HE looks - not on the reflectors!
You probably remember the dupe sheet hand for Op Aid 6es, too - hmmm...was
that a circle or a single underline?
