Hi Gary.

Right now, I am trying to decide about whether or not to abandon HF
operation and shortwave listening, but if I were to stay in, I would be
interested in this meter.  I am unlikely to spend anything else on HF as
long as the Broadband over Power Lines remains a significant possibility,
and may decide to get out for that reason.

So, while interested, I can't commit until this issue is settled.
