Lou,
Thanks for the kind words on my audio. It's nice to know that someone out
there hears an improvement. You've made me feel better about the 480.
Tom, we might be able to hear each other on 40 meters if we pick the right
time of day. Let me know if there's a good time for you, and I'll try to be
there.
Steve
