Hello Dave, Congratulations on the DXCC (K2). I just got 1644 on the air after 8 years of it sitting in the box. I am enjoying every minute of it. Today I ran the spectrogram program to set up the filters and WOW what a difference that made. So far I've worked 13 countries with it over the last couple of weeks. I've been working on the mods to bring it up to date. After I got the filters set I've been playing around in the SAC contest and worked several Scandinavian countries. Not bad for 5 watts and a windom. Its nice to get rid of all the QRM around a station. The other day I was able to dig ZK3MW out of the mud on 30 meters. I didn't get to work him but it was neat to see what the rig could do. I wish I had the filters set right for that. Anyway, again, great job, and especially with all those SSB QSOs.
