There's no access to time of day, or day of the week in the OT2 yet.
I've requested such, and Scott has responded, but it's not implemented
yet.

It can be a little hard to catch Bob's attention, and even harder to
to get him to listen to outside ideas and concepts. Doesn't really
matter a whole lot anyway, we can play with APRS and develop new ideas
and concepts without having to get the approval of Bob.

Bob was dead set against SmartBeaconing when it was invented, and
Proportional Pathing was another thing that didn't pass the bar for
him either. It took a few years, but some good ideas can't be ignored
forever. We just need to keep playing and creating... sooner or later
the rest of the world catches up.
