We all own a great deal of thanks to Walter for his great support of all the
digital modes.
I have thoroughly enjoyed the benefits of both his RCKskimmer as well as his
digital only
cluster.
I hope Walter will consider continuing his digital only cluster as well as
RCKSkimmer
as they are both unique and useful creations.
