[Dxbase] DXB2007 Time display

Fri Feb 19 10:57:47 EST 2010

Well now wait a minute:
In 2007, the seconds was added to the QSO record because there was a large 
number of folks who needed to be able to save QSOs with the same hhmm time, 
such as county hunters who make QSOs from different counties in the same 
hhmm... thus the seconds were necessary to make the QSOs unique. You can 
size the QSO Time column to only show hhmm.
As for the labels, you can modify the label time field to only display hhmm 
per my earlier post on the topic.
