[wxqc] What's the significance?

[Russell.B.Chadwick at noaa.gov]

Hi Jim,

You (and another CW person) are on this list,  

http://wxqa.com/expt/C20080302.txt

At the top of each hour, I partition all the received packets into eight
bins, depending on the symbol after the :

:@    activecwd (CWxxxx with :@)
:@    activedwd (DWxxxx with :@)
:@    activeham (all other with :@)
:$    dollar
:_    unders
:=    equal
:!    expt
else  other

Only the first 5 have an index of the past ten days, but all eight have
at least the past ten days on the wxqa.com web site.  I will look into
getting the CW packets that aren't :@ back into the last packet heard
list.  Sounds easy, but I have learned that things that sound easy
aren't necessarily so!

Russ
