Your quite welcome John. BUT...I wish I could encourage you to take a stab
at QRQ. It  is such a blast to have QSO's at high speed's and once you do
it, you really do get kinda hooked on it!

Right now, most of the activity is on or around 7.033. I normally meet  with
W9FCX on that frequency between 7 and 7:30 am  each morning. Then on Saturdy
and Sunday morning on the same frequency and time,  I meet  with  K5LGJ for
about half an hour. When Ted leaves, there is usually others that jump on
for more swapping sea stories. Then on Monday and Friday nights, starting at
8pm, on 7.032, there is a group  who call themselves the 'FOG' (Fast Old
Goats), and there is usually four or five of them  who chit chat for about
on hour.
