The first couple times I heard you send just "numbers", I thought it was a 
malfunction with your logging program, until I decided to listen to the 
frequency of one of those *strange* "numbers" :-)

Having been programmed for the usual "UP 5", "UP 10", etc., I did find it a 
bit bizarre without an "UP" involved.

FWIW & 73...
