Hello Bill,
Thanks for your quick answer and the work you have been doing to reduce the
length.
Where in the source can I find the country list?
The position of the heading is not so important, but when I look at decoded
callsigns, I like to see when the decode took place.
Enlarging the window is no option for me, running 2 instances, logbook and
PowerSDR, my monitors are crowded as it is.
Maybe an option to allow truncation? It's probably not that easy to know
what will fit, with the different font sizes, fonts and environments.
73,
Ton PA0TBR
