As for 40M Ray, if it is manageable, you might want to listen in the early morning just before your local sunrise (+2-3 hours), it's been a LOT of fun on long path lately (all the way up to 10M actually, I worked Oman and UAE on 10M last week, long path). 73, Rick wa6nhc -----Original Message----- From: Ray Coles Ray, Why do you want an external interface?
