I own, having paid for, all of the programs Alex allows out as
shareware. He is an amazing
programmer, one of the best in ham radio today. I say this to preface
my suggestion that
you say exactly these words to him. This is the kind of critique he
would listen to and work
on.
That said, what a great thing we have in ham radio to have two people
like Alex and Mako-san
programming these fantastic tools for us.
