Hi All,
Thanks for your report Steve glad the new radio is working well. I made 30 
contacts in a five hour effort, learned the value of the cw memories. Most 
of my contacts were on 15 and 20 mtrs. My farthest west were WA, OR and CA. 
My farthest east was PR. More fun next year
73's, Albert, WA7fxb
