Hello Development team,
 this may seem like a cosmetic request but I have what i feel is a valid
reason (I bet we all say that).

I run a few dedicated WSPR setups here in VK5 on the VHF bands, some times
it can be days between decodes and with just the onscreen data showing only
the ZULU time in the left hand column it requires me to open the log file
to see when that decode happened.

Now I ask this ONLY for the WSPR display mode, which is different to all
the others so it should have a minimal roll on effect, could the Julian day
number be put to the left of the ZULU time in the WSPR screen display, so
instead of the current format (shown below)

2328  -20   0.2   50.294510    0   VK7DC         QE28     47    931

we could have this instead:

123 2328  -20   0.2   50.294510    0   VK7DC         QE28     47    931

I chose the Julian day for this request as it has a small 3 character foot
print for the display, as I know there are some who are short on screen
space and it can be readily converted to the current date via many online
resources.  I am not asking for any other portion of the reporting, logging
functions to change as I know many have add-on programs already in use,
just what is shown on-screen. Modes like FT8, JT65 and Q65 are all based
around users interacting with the software, where as WSPR mode is all about
long term trends and making use of surprises :-)

I hope this request finds you all well and ready for the coming
christmas season.

Regards,
Peter, vk5pj
