[Dxbase] Refinements...

Sat Dec 16 09:15:39 EST 2006

Sounds like a good idea. I'm in the Eastern time zone, and every day alerts 
are coming through from west coast stations in the morning on 160, 80, 40, 
long after they could be worked or even heard from here. It's not a big 
problem, but would be nice to cut the alerts off at a set time on these 
bands.
