Thanks, good to hear!

I'm not sure I understand what you're asking here...

They're kept in you configuration directory, which is
%APPDATA%/D-RATS/maps on windows and ~/.d-rats/maps on anything else.

The map window has a way to dump the cache, which will delete all
currently-saved maps.

I've tried to design things like the files tab in such a way that you
don't need to be able to right-click on a station to do things.  I think
I will try to do something in the messages section as well.  I probably
do need a "stations heard" list, but I've not found a way that I'm happy
with yet.

Thanks!
