[Dxbase] FW: DXBase Suggestion

Sat May 7 12:56:54 EDT 2011

I'm certainly not trying to, nor want to start a fight. And you have
absolutely no idea how much I enjoy ham radio even after 50 years. Enjoy
getting your grass cut.

If everyone would start to listen to their radios instead of staring at
their computer screens and clicking on spots, ham radio would be a much
better hobby than what it has become.

And what's wrong with changing bands and using the tuning knob on your
radio? 
The next thing you're gonna want is a radio that will make the QSO for you,
fill out the QSL and employ a robot to take it to the mail box.

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?
