Hi Bruce:

Great...I recently downloaded the yand decoder onto my XP windows 
computer....I haven't
had a chance to  test it out yet. We recently moved into a condo and I 
have HF antennas in
place, but, no LF antennas yet.  I am still working on a portable loop 
and and Jay's e-probe
arrangement to play with.  More on that later hi hi.

Thanks, 73,

Tom N8TL
