Hi I am 55 years old and been hamming since 1968. had a computer since 1985, and had a Mac for all most a week now.

It is hard to rember and to put these colors in my head to know what they all mean. I will print out the page.

Are you going to add a help menue?

My spell check id just stopped working on the site. I go issues. Sorry about spelling.

To remember this, I can help you. Go to the preferences below the DX-Alert tab. Here you can switch on a dx announcement voice. Only new ones are spoken. To see/hear how it works look here: http://dl2rum.de/rumsoft/Announcements.html Press the Play button below the screen shoot to start the audio.
