Hi Kevin, How did battery ops go? I listened for you here in FL, whilst building the front panel board of the K2,but 40M appeared too long for stateside. Didn't even hear Tom (N0SS). Macedonia, however, was not too much of a problem. I'll look for you guys again next week. 73s, Pete wd4lst K1 #2194 K2 #5813 (Not yet alive)
