In over 50 yrs of ham radio, I've never heard ANYONE on a lower band say they
are going down to 10 meters, or 6 meters.  My sentence above points right at it.
I said a LOWER band.  Even the old timers said "I'm going down to 160 meters."
Why fight tradition?

I always wondered why I always hit the wrong button on the XG (nice product, by
the way).  I never stopped to think about it.  The good news is, the lower
button moves the LED in the same physical direction as the button pressed.  :o)
