HA!    EXCELLENT, STEVE.

I was thinking along the same lines,  It does not seem very sporting if you
just click on the cluster window and have the computer tune the rig.  That
means you must rely on other hams to first find, work, and 
then tell you where the contacts are.   That requires very little 
operating skill.

But I am sure Rick will explain why I am all wet on this one!
