TX5C has implemented Marios Nicolaou's (5B4WN/G0WWW) logsearch applet for the dxpedition. Marios' applet not only provides the essential call search function but also provides a histogram which lists by hour the number of TX5C contacts per call area.  This invaluable tool will help dxers identify the most active periods when contacts with TX5C can be made.
