Are you sure Jim? Four hours is forever in a contest. I actually adjusted the time
the other direction and set the fade to 20 mins during the WPX. Except for the M/M 
CQ beacons I doubt too many spots last more then a hour. Also we get spots every
few seconds which really load the band maps. Ten meter spots fills the screen pretty 
fast and the new spots refresh the faded mults often. Leaving really old spots on the
bandmap would seem to me a waste of valuable time for the single-op assisted.

This, of course, has little to do with TRLog programming, I'm sure they can set it to 
any time you want, it was the contest strategy that caught my attention.
