No, I realize that but what i was saying was that the percon site has a
lot of senseless advertising when you are trying to find your
frequencies.  i can remember when the only thing that site advertised was
the CD Rom that has the data base.  They did sample searches, and I found
it helpful, but now I just do all of my frequency  searches on the FCC's
data base.  I haven't been to percon in a long time, but the last time I
was up there it was advertising free music or CDS or audio books or
something like that.
