Ed, I have just installed UBUNTU on the shack computer, and I am experimenting 
with the colours under GNOME now. Problem is that the Gnome terminal treats 
colours differently form KDE (hilites). Under KDE you get the right colours 
using a Linux Terminal. Under Gnome I have to change a few of the colours to 
get a nicely readable display. I will give you the colours I use after 
finishing the tests tomorrow... today I helped my daughter move house hi...

With respect to the spots, please look at the clock in tlf.... that has to be 
on GMT to show them! So have a look at the time in the spots and look if the 
tlf clock is on the same hour... in all cases this has solved the 'no spots 
visible' problem. By the way, my spots come also from a cluster using DX 
spider... so it should work...

I am sure we will get this thing cooked :)

Oh, and using the gnome terminal you have to tell gnome not to use F1 for 
help... you will need the key for calling CQ :)
