I use the “Days of the Week” feature a lot but I would love to be able to create an alert for future DXPeditions (or special events) and have the alert activate (for example) 9/1 and deactivate 9/15 so I only get alerts for that timeframe.

We have Days & Times (which is great), can we get DATES?

Thanks for the awesome app, I have logged many stations that I would have missed without HamAlert!
