Congrats Stuart! & Co.
 
I never doubted you would succeed! ...the wind conspiring to give you just a short 
glimpse of -12 dB gave me a chuckle :-)  Mr Murphy couldn't help it i guess. It still 
seems only natural that SSB would out-perform FM, even though ultimately it's all AM 
in the end when it comes to modulating the beams.
 
more good luck!
