Thanks for the contact Bill. Having spent all day Thursday and Friday building the 1296 (& 2304 future) array and putting it on the tower, I was happy to work *anybody*. I did manage 8 Q's in 6 grids (missing FM18 - the Grid Pirate's home square). Best DX was K1TEO. Looking forward to more of the same and getting 2304 up and running. 73 Ken FM18ew
