Ken, you need to do BOTH. I originally disliked the busted thing (you can't work HP9ZBUSTED so why spot it?) but I have seen the light. I hope more people do this. If I have HP9Z in my ANNOUNCE windo

In CT, needed QSOs (which you might save while tuning through a band) will appear in the Announce window. Make sure you're in the Announce window and use PGUP/PGDOWN to change what is displayed (mult
But how do you know that you didn't just sync up with yet another station just up the band, doing the same thing you are? That's why I like to tune DOWN the band instead of UP. 73 - Jim AD1C -- Jim R
