Thanks Andy. I have been reading this group for awhile now and finally decided to jump in and see if I could make the JT65A stuff work. It was fun getting it running but it was even more fun seeing the callsigns come up. It seemed like there were a few other signals there because I would copy a RO or RRR seemingly by itself occasionally. I wish I had heard the VE7CUS call but I did not. Perhaps I will catch him tonight and I will look for you as well. I am glad that my presence is of interest to people, the thrill of working them is definitely mutual. If anyone wants a sked, just send me an email.
