[Dxbase] Top Band spots.

Sat Dec 23 08:13:35 EST 2006

So even before the time filter was added you were still seeing top-band spots when filtering all spotters except those on east
coast? I found the ability to filter the spotters worked very well but nice to see the time feature added.
The VE7CC cluster software is a great asset to DXB
