Yea, but I'm suggesting that we add a time_t for heard_direct, and
at the time we check expiry, we also check this new time_t on
records and reset the heard_direct bit if it's too old.  Just using
the expiry timer for yet another task, not actually expiring this
object based on it.

This might not be efficient though, depending on how our pointers
are set up for the station records.  It might be better just to
check this time_t if we're in the mode where we're showing only the
directly-heard stations, then we don't take the efficiency hit in
other modes.

That's it!  I'm the eccentric one, but I guess I didn't have to tell
you that...
