Someone I am sure will tell me on this list.  I just put out the 
question so that if anyone knew of an swr meter or talking wat meter 
they would let me know.
A couple of weekss ago I passed my general test.  My friend who kept 
after me to get my license has been looking for radios for me  He has 
found a kenwood ts480 hx for $800.00, and a ldg automatic tuner  I 
think he said that it was the model 2600.  He is a broadcast enginer, 
and he is going to put in the vgs 1 chip.  He is helping me with a 
160 and 80 meter die pole antenna fed together so the 160 die pole 
would be east west, and the 80 meter would be north south.  According 
to his program he has on the computer it should do quite well.
I have an acre of land 100 feet wide and about 400 feet long about 
1,700 feet above sealevel.
I am quite excited to get on the HF. bands.
When I got my license, they had a contest in Ny.  where you had to 
see how many counties you could talk to and after a while I tryed and 
talked to 4 different ones.  They were at the local club's repeater sight.
Everyone has given me good advice on this list, and I hope that 
sometime I can talk to some of you on the air.
Thanks for reading
73.
