I wouldn't mind having K8garblegarble in the band map (after no success in
working him) if I thought it was a station that would benefit my score when
I later returned to that frequency. AND, if I could manually delete calls
from the band map at will, I could remove him when needed. I could also
delete a call from the map if he leaves the band before I am able to work
him. (You can probably tell from my comments that I spend too much time in
DXing mode and not enough in Contesting mode, and that I'm partial to 160
meters.) The technical stuff is all Dave's!
