Thanks Mark.
Clears up that mystery! Been meaning to ask that question for a few weeks and
just never seem to get around to doing it.

Hi Scott,
AO-51 has a broad band receiver (think something like an Icom PCR-1000) that
can be tuned to 10M. The problem is that the antenna is either one tuned for
2M or 1.2GHz. So---it's very inefficient and not very effective. There have
been some short periods of testing, but it's not on
