That was back when I had N6NB's mountaintop station available to me, Dave. That's no longer the case. I now operate from home in Orange County with a TS-570 and four band trap vertical in the backyard. Needless to say there's quite a difference, hi. I usually had to stand in line behind the many EU DX stations last weekend. Patience is now the key. 73... John, N6MU
