<p dir="ltr">It's not really possible to do this (precisely) from a LUA script. There is no way to set an event timer.</p>
<p dir="ltr">One could do it (approximately) by checking for a band change every time a QSO is logged, saving the timestamp, and comparing with the last saved timestamp value, but you would have to assign a different LUA script to every possible way of logging a QSO, and if you spent 30 minutes on a band without logging a QSO, the background color still would change.<br>
<br>
Perhaps one could try running the script every time the F1 message is invoked, but that only works for stations that spend most of their time CQing.</p>
<p dir="ltr">I think it might be easier to use an external device, perhaps tapping a chess clock or a smartphone's built-in countdown timer every time you changed bands?</p>
<p dir="ltr">Frankly, I don't really understand why this is needed for effective contesting. Most contesters change bands as conditions dictate, not by the clock.</p>
