Hi John

Right on on that one.  I now have 2 radios, (actually 3 radios now) a DX 
Doubler, all kinds of antennas,  and I sure haven't improved my score a 
whole lot.  It is something that takes lots of practice, and I hope to do 
more of it this fall and winter.  I listen in awe to some of these guys 
doing 2 radio operation.  Just look at some of the scores on the Thursday 
night Sprint Ladder.  Some guys are consistantly making 55-60 Q's and I'm 
consistant with 30 :-)  But, it is a learning experience.  Two radio's don't 
an expert make! 73
