[time-nuts] LH web traffic

[Louis Williams]

Thanks to all who responded to my lack of knowledge.  "When in doubt, read
the directions."  The screen even says what the source is if you look in the
right place.  Thanks again.

It has caused a lot of confusion, admittedly.  That's why, in the more
recent releases, I changed the label on the icon to "KE5FX TBolt (Seattle,
USA)."  But it seems that's still not enough of a hint, because people still
write me from various countries asking why their Thunderbolt's location is
off by several thousand km. :)
