New Features in 103.2

1. Contest starts on "top" of the minute.

The Starter Bell always starts a contest at the "top" of the minute.

For example, if you set the start time tor 10:30 am, then the contest starts at 10:30 am exactly.

If you set a pre-start period, the period is rounded-down so that the contest starts at the "top" of a minute.

For example, if you set the pre-start period to 5 minutes and click "Auto Start" at 11:55:45 am, then the contest starts exactly at 12 noon, that is, after 4 minutes and 15 seconds.

2. Announce volume control

During the countdown, the Starter Bell makes announcements in local chat. You can control the volume from the menu by clicking the "Vol 20m" or "Vol 100m" buttons to select 20 meters or 100 meters. The default is 20 meters.
