Bill .. congratulations on the win! You mentioned a "search and pounce" technique. When tuning the bands I too use the panadapter and the mouse and have come to wish for a "snap to" control. In other words, if you have the step set to 1 khz, clicking on a frequency, within say 500 khz, of a qso that is on a 1 khz mark would put you right on, with that simple click.
Is that something that we should be putting on a wish list? --Larry W8ER Bill Bordy wrote: > NJ1H, SDR-1000 & R5 Vertical Takes First Place Low Power SSB World Wide WPX > Contest for the Single Operator Assisted - All Band division for 1ST Area. > > > > I received in the mail today the above award certificate from CQ magazine. > As noted on page 111 of January 2007 CQ magazine, I was a certificate > winner.
