Hi Bill, I'm just generally interested in Linux adoption in amateur radio for casual/selfish reasons. More useful operating information (to me) passed to pskreporter is when people take the trouble to describe antennas in WSJT. But that free text field can't be easily normalized for any sort of broad statistical use -- such as influencing one's next purchase or installation decision. Mainly I'm just very grateful that you can tell at a glance whether a band is open. 73, KD0KZE / Paul
