Thanks!  Tell him to make sure to get the internal tuner. *grin*  I've put
up a G5RV and the Jupiter tunes up on 160-10 with no hassle.  The noise it
makes while tuning is startling the first couple of times you hear it.
It's a "crushing glass" kind of sound. :)

I'm actually going to use an aviation grade headset similar to the Dave
Clark line.  Most of my time is going to be spent in CW though - it's more
fun. :)
