[Dxbase] DXBase Suggestion

Sat May 7 12:04:32 EDT 2011

Greg, Dave is right. We know that. I'm looking for "on the fly" as 
Dave says. 17 meters is open for example. I want to chase some band 
countries. I don't want to go to the trouble of sending the information 
to the cluster because minutes later I might see activity on 12 and want 
to look there too. 
Neal?
