Thanks for the operating tips Paul as I have not been very successful in the past with this bird. Perhaps I'll try again tonight from my lakeside qth in FN21. I've noticed that sigs are very strong but I've always had trouble finding myself. I'll try your approach. 73 Rick W2JAZ _______________________________________________ Sent via AMSAT-BB@amsat.org.
