Thank you Pete. Some of you know my dry sense of humor, others figure 
it out, and yet others have no sense of humor and take everything 
personally. Of course, I realize MMs aren't going anywhere (except 
the band edges, of course), though I did write my post shortly after 
KC1XX moved a mult out from under me...

On the subject of outside the band, there was a Puerto Rican station 
CQing at 14349.3. I guess he, and those that called him, don't 
realize that is the "carrier" freq. and on USB that is well outside 
the band.  Hopefully Uncle Riley wasn't listening and taking notes 
there...
