I missed over this e-mail in my inbox and just now noticed it as I was doing some clean-up.
Yes, I'm proposing that the Comment and Status lines be put below "Distance from my station:" but above the "Last Position:" line. And the reasoning is for stations that have multiple comments lines (such as a balloon or OpenTracker device), this makes it much easier to see the "Current Power Gain" and "Distance from my station" without scrolling down in the dialog box. -- William McKeehan On Sun, December 24, 2006 1:13 am, Curt Mills wrote: > On Sat, 23 Dec 2006, William McKeehan wrote: > >> I'm watching a balloon today (WB8ELK-12) and have the Station Info dialog >> box >> up with Automatic Updated enabled.
