Comments: The AA4NC station is about 20 times as complex as my home station.
          Coupled with a lack of pileup experience it was a case of treading as 
	  hard as I could to keep my nose above water. I think I have an inkling 
	  now of the huge number of ares where I want to become proficient. 
	  Many thanks to Will, AA4NC for letting me use his super station.

Regards,
Pete
