I'm still trying to get a long string of dots out of the Magnavert.  I
can just get 8 of them but Coach Shelby Rye said he got hundreds of
dots out of the Magnavert.  I sent the key to Richard Meiss, WB9LPU in
hopes he could figure it out, the thing has five or six adjustments
for dots alone. Richard just got married so he couldn't help me much.

I'm still tinkering with it.
