Ssshh, Jim, we don't want others to know our secrets! Seriously, I think I am noticing that the pileup jumps on the dx's listening frequency faster these days. Usually it is faster to work stations without tuning after each one but the op on 40 this am seemed to be tuning after almost every qso. When he would work somebody in a bit of a hole the hole would get filled almost immediately. So please, people, don't buy a P3 :-) 73 and cheers, Fred KE7X

After I used the P3 to find a hole near the station(s) he was working, I did manage to work them. Using the newer P3/SVGA firmware I did a screen capture of the zoo to a memory stick and uploaded it to Photobucket so I could pass it on to whoever wanted to see it. Those that don't, just ignore or delete this message - LOL. I turned off the data decode/encode windows so the waterfall portion is quite large and the signal traces are really visible. The faint ones are just barely above the noise and the brighter ones are between S7 and S9+.
