Got my old SST-20 dusted off and ready to go.  The hours and geography 
are not conducive to 40M operation for me, and the higher bands are 
likely to be dead - so this seems the perfect rig for the Pet Rock 
thingee.  I'll be hanging out probably a little above 14060, then will 
put in a full time effort in the RTTY Roundup.
