Sorry Jim, it will.

[From the Help File]
 WriteLog normally enters stations so that they will automatically be
deleted from the map in 20 minutes. You can change this number as
DefaultTimeoutSeconds under the BandMap section in WRITELOG.INI.

I changed mine to 30 minutes as well :-)

Save your screen's by SETUP SAVE CONFIGURATION and that will write it to
writelog.ini
and it will be there next time.

You'll find version 9.20 much easier to find some of this stuff in when its
released.

73 Jay and BTW the entire Spokane-Pasco-Baker PC network is down at the
molment.
