Not there yet Mike; I am being copied solid, 24 hours a day at a 
distance of 95 airmiles by ARGO in QRSS30. I was told by another
operator today that my signal is now audible, loud & clear at a 
distance of 10 airmiles. I've got a ways to go yet, but still
making improvements. Sure am having fun right now though, and 
learning alot and that's what it's all about. BTW; I've made 
some changes in my receiving setup, and I'm now hearing more 
stations on 600 meters.
