[Elecraft] Get the kids off the street - making my move!

[Mark]

Deed is done!  Just made my 1st digi QSO JT-9 at 5W 460 miles.  Got it 
imported to DXLab logbook - all is right with the world.

Thanks for all the comments - they were very helpful.

Oh I agree on that too.  The typical JT-65 or JT-9 QSO takes a long time
like 5 to 7 minutes or more under good conditions.  But the software /
mode will dig signals out of the noise one can't hear by ear.

I do encourage one to get their CAT interface working correctly with the
software.  Makes life so much easier.
