Yup, Steve, I think you're right on the 1Delta classification for my 
particular set-up, and that is what I'm planning to go with.

It now turns out that the XYL and I have a few other commitments for this 
coming week-end, so my FD operation from the RV may be curtailed a bit more 
than I originally had planned, but I'll have fun whatever I can do.

Now, if the thunderstorms stay away, there will at least be one less 
complication.

Will keep everyone posted, if I can get to e-mail again before we head to 
the RV tomorrow evening.
