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,
