Thanks Ken,

That is probably what put that shadow in a deep recess in my memory 
banks (never completely trust what is there). I'm sure that Bobby and 
Bob and others will do very well on 60 meters.

I should order some of those inexpensive DDS units and then wrap a 
transmitter around them.

We don't have an accommodation with FEMA here for hams. There has been 
talk that sounded enthusiastic but so far - *zero*. I spent the time and 
energy to take the CERT training - a fat zero there too. I have lived 70 
years without those. I will probably get by somehow a while longer <evil 
grin>.

73,

Bill  KU8H
