Graph of SNR now in WSPR Watch app

I've just updated the iOS and macOS app WSPR Watch to include a new graph of signal to noise ratios. So far I'm not seeing any useful information on this graph at my location. It's been suggested that to be valuable it would need to work with the callsign search feature so you can plot SNR over time between just two stations.

This version, 3.11.1, also fixes a surprising (to me) bug that affected users in the UK. As dates and times are in UTC and so is the UK for some reason my date parsing was failing for those users. I'm astonished that I hadn't heard about this before now.

My thanks to Paul, G0DIH, for the bug report and for working with me to test builds until the issue was sorted out.

Here's how the SNR, and other, graphs look now.

    Thanks Verne,

    Yes, WSPRnet seems very slow or perhaps down at the moment. The app gives up after 30 seconds.
