Well, Steve, at least you can hear damn well -- you pulled my QRP signal 
through without much trouble. And so did WL7E! I'd say you both have 
pretty good stations! Many ops only pay attention to how BIG their 
signal is, not to what they can hear. Lots of guys with big signals here 
couldn't hear me, even when they were half the distance to guys that I 
COULD work. NO3M, N0NI, K5KC, K1LT,WB9Z, AE0EE, and W5ZN had good enough 
ears to get my QRP multiplier, but lots of others didn't. KH6LC ALWAYS 
hears my single call unless there's another station calling.
