Boy, this would really help me out. As I am sure other low band DX'ers. Every morning about an hour after sunrise I UNCHECK 160, 80 and 40 meters. And that evening before sunset I go back in and CHECK 40, 80 and 160 meters again. The program knows my SUNRISE and SUNSET time. It could automatically check and un-check an hour after sunrise and an hour before sunset. What a great help that would be!
We now get the band/mode summary for COUNTRIES or IOTA's. ZONES would be a great help also! THANKS Jack for the great program.
