Terry I am sorry you don't like the question but with no offense intended,
why don't you just hit your delete button if you don't like the post. I am
not only new to the reflector but new to Icom HF so I am sorry if I asked a
question that I had no idea had been asked before. I mean come on, it has
noting to do with memories in my opinion. Thanks again though to those that
helped in the spirit of ham radio and didn't get upset by the question, hi
hi...LOL, 73, Steve
