No problem Tom. I did make half a dozen contacts on 40 before going to bed
last night and will maybe spend a little time today on the high bands.
Things have been so screwy here since my mother died that I haven't been on
the air very much the past 2 months. hope to get things going more normal
as time goes on.
BTW, I am hearing a number of stations from Europe on 15 and a few from
South and Central America on 10 meters, so lot's of bands to choose from
today.
73, Steve KW3A

>> Hi, all.

>> For anyone who can help, I have two more questions on this week-end's

>>
>> 1. What is the typical exchange? In the rules, I found no mention of

>>
>> 2. Can you operate different power levels on different bands? For

>>
>> Thanks for any help that can be provided, and hope to see some of you in
