Nate,

thanks for exploring the SQL possibilities. I had already figured that 
setting up MySQL or somesort would be to much for the average ham, 
although it might be a good exercise for us more experienced hams :-)

SQLite doesn't seem to depend on a running database server, it writes 
directly to and from files, which seems an interesting solution. 
However, I guess we wouldn't benefit from a separate running process 
which does it's own calculations. A solution for this might be if we 
start using threads...

Joop
