I measure the freq as 185.2994 but is VERY slowly dropping (I suspect as the LW-Max card warms up). I decided that since I have little chance of clobbering anyone at the freq (especially since I don't seem to be getting out) I am running key-down for the night. Bill: I took the turn off the primary (from 8 to 7). Now it "peaks" at .650A. Mike wa1ptc Central NY
