YES !  Very commendable operation  (  although he did not hear me !  hi )

If somebody talks to him, it may be a good idea if he changed his QSX from
time to time to fiter out QRM. I tīremember SM0AGD did that in the past,
suddenly syng QSX  7 up after having done 2 or 3 up for some time. By doing
that those who listen
get the benefit of less QRM and qso rate goes up too.
