I like your site, but a couple of suggestions:

1. Can you make the scrolling window a lot bigger (say, 10x the current
size). Messages are flowing thick and fast right now, and messages just
a few minutes old are no longer accessible.

2. MegaHertz (MHz) please, not milliHertz (mHz) .... :-)

When SI units that are based on names are spelled in full, they are always uncapitalised (for example, hertz and ohms). The only exception is degrees Celsius. These same units are always written with an initial capital (for example, Sv for sievert and Hz for hertz) when abbreviated. SI style never uses camel case (like MegaHertz) in full, and prefixes when written in full are only capitalised if placed at the start of a sentence (for example, megahertz rather than Megahertz).

That may be true, but when it comes to using abbreviations, SI
specifies the case of the multiplier and units. These should be
adhered to. I may be able to generate a few mHz by putting a
resistor across a supercap. :D

I only expanded the Mega- and milli- to emphasize the difference -- I
wasn't suggesting using them as such.

What I *was* suggesting is using the abbreviation "MHz", not "mHz",
throughout on John's page.

No problem, though the window is scroll able to support reading back through messages.

BTW, the reason I try to keep the window small is for handheld devices like tablets and maybe smart phones.

I fixed the mapping issue I mentioned to you on your website a few
minutes ago. The problem was how hamqth.com interprets the
address. I fixed it by telling hamqth.com to use the lat/long values
instead on my profile.

If anyone else finds they're being shown incorrectly on the map, you
will need to create an account for your callsign at hamqth.com and
change the profile to use the lat/long information for the mapping
(make sure that is correct!).
