Bernie & George, Thanks for the encouragement, upgrading has been something I've thought about for several years. If all the A.M. activity is moving down, that's just the motivation I may need. Like other have said, I think at times, there are a lot of 'us" just listing , more of us need to push the switch and make some noise, rather we are at 3885 or down under. 73's

Hmmmm, Sounds good to me Don. I'll try to hang out below 3700 starting this week. Besides, it'll give me a chance to give the Drake R-4A a workout, now that I have it running. 73, Ellen - AF9J > > As the summer QRN is now beginning to subside, the 3870-90 Ghetto is > > getting crowded in the evening.
