Actually, seeing something that was on 8 hours ago is sometimes useful, especially for a DXpedition because it gives you an idea of what bands they are working at what times of day and what times of day people in your part of the world are hearing them. The bigger problem with this approach is that I don't know if you can filter the DX Summit spots based upon the geographic location of the person posting the spot. I typically use a telnet cluster that filters out everything except spots made by U.S. stations on the West Coast (where I live). I would really want to load in only spots from West Coast stations. Would that be possible?

It would still receive the other spots, but they won't be highlighted. Rather than trying to keep a day or two worth of spots in DX4WIN, I'll look directly on DX Summit or one of the other siites and just pull down a pile of spots for that particular DXpedition.
