thanks, George.
This morning in ve3 land There was enough signal to work you just as the sun
started to rise here.
The QSB was pretty bad, at least for me and I could not hear you on either
beverage at all. Maybe I have a problem there I need to go look into.
The APF on the 6600 a lot to pull you out of the noise.
Thanks for the new country on 160 and overall
