OK, but can't confirm but looks fine.

The bulletin box popped up but with no dialog when the range was reduced 
below were the bulletins were originating. (kb7wuk)

Not connected directly to internet feed, just thru an igate.
I have had a posit for this station for some time.

The box did pop up without any dialog

I hope I'm not giving you the run-a-round..... I'll set the range to 
something  below and watch again in the future.
