I have 9M8A in for notifications. Almost all of my notifications are from KFS/OMNI (that’s a callsign??) and N1VF/K. I have only Eastern Time Zone for spots. I put both of these callsigns into the ‘Not Spotter Callsign’ and I continue to get spots from both of these ‘calls.’

I get 40 meter callouts at noon my time (EDT), 80 meters, etc. Is this something with the program or is it something I’m not getting right?

Thanks…k9JY

It looks like you accidentally picked a “not Full callsign” condition instead of “not Spotter callsign”.

No, it’s the ‘Not Spotter Callsign’. The original and title had ‘not full callsign’ in it, but I realized sent out the wrong option. They are both under ‘Not Spotter Callsign.’

Amazing how our minds will fill in what it thinks it wants. Thanks for the followup and for the app, Manuel.
