   D'oh!  I've never actually seen the bandmap before (all previous contest 
logging has been done with monochrome or CGA monitors, just recently had
a club member donate a VGA monitor for our station) and of course there are no
screen shots in the manual I have :-) so I guess I was just wasn't thinking 
about where it went.  And actually, now that I think about it, I'm not even 
really sure what the bandmap does, frankly, but I guess we'll find out in the 
contest, hi!

> What, specifically, are you having a problem with?

  Well, I kind of expected the program to start up and occupy the whole screen,
which threw me off is all.

> Trying to help,

   Tnx!  Live and learn I guess.
