This marks the third post (2 private e-mails) that points this out. I'm man 
enough to stand up and say I was misinformed on this subject. My excuse is just 
a variation on the theme that a little knowledge is a dangerous thing. Sorry 
for 
the misinformation. I hate it when people do that, and here I am, just as 
guilty.

73, Rod K4QG     |  It's pronounced
                          |  "jig-a-byte" 
                          |  Look it up.

Never be afraid to try something new; 
remember amateurs built the Ark, 
professionals built the Titanic
