[WT-support] CQWW MS Band Change counter

[Fabio I4UFH]

Hi Tonno,

the QSY countdown is showed in the ALT J and is networked, so everyone in the network knows which band has the 10min time slot assigned and when it will be released. Great tool, used in the last CQWW SSB with one RUN and 3 multiplier station.

The Status windows allow u to know when the QSY is allowed and also the Freq of the networked PC, so is the right place, even a duplicate information in the Rate window can be useful, but not really needed.

> You are right, I saw that feature. But that does not tell to a multiplier station who is waiting on a new band how much time is left. It only displays WAIT. If the countdown is actually in the program then why would it not be shown on RATE window for ALL STATIONS? That should be the aim of the RATE window, right? It says LAST BAND CHANGES but actually displays two countdowns that are both wrong.
