Tom,
What was the letter designator in the SS exchange?  I thought it had 
to do with power - A for 100 or less and B for above.  But I think I 
heard a Q and an U so I am confused.
I played on ten a bit and once I got the freq. shift between my 
transmit and receive straightened out, people heard me rather well!!
