PGHscanner.com Web Site Update

I have updated http://www.pghscanner.com to the new format. The old format will continue to be used on http://www.qsl.net/k3fs

I still have a couple of major projects on the new format. One being the QSL card page. I am working on that currently. The other is the file download. I am working on updating the programming on my radios. Once that is completed I will update the files. I am considering the deletion of some pages as well. The reprogramming of radios has proven to be more time consuming than I thought. I am also working on using a database on the site. This will allow for easier updates, more display options, and searching.

Please email comments or suggestions on the new format
