[GreenKeys] Creed Cariages.

[Bob Camp]

Hi

As I said, the story about the Creeds was something passed around by a 
bunch of American hams none of whom had ever actually seen a Creed.

I would also agree that a 15 when not totally up to snuff will not get 
the carriage back to "zero" in the required amount of time.

	Take Care!
