Hello Dan,
I understand the meaning of SWL.
I heard a mysterious sound in older days, before Ham.
It's an opportunity to digital mode.
We will reference your comment, when revising rule in the future.
Thanks again for the comment.
73, Hisami 7L4IOU

>>Food for thought !!!
>>Of course to be eligible for that you would have to limit the op time
>>to a couple hours. Otherwise the 48 hour guys will grab that too !!
