HI from Ken,
Out of all the replies to this young mans question this is the only one I
have seen that answers his question.
I hope you ( the rest of the replies ) feel really proud of yourselves.
The only other comment I would like to make regards the radio is that it is
only low power and a good beam type aerial is required for long(ish)
distance contacts ( especially on the SSB portion of the band )........Good
luck, Ken, G4KIR.
