Hello Dave.
Thank you very much for taking the time to write such an interesting and
informative reply to my question.
As I mentioned in my previous reply I'm not interested in chasing DX, &
never have been, although most people I'm sure will find that strange,
but I am starting to enjoy digital modes because my poor hearing rules
out SSB most of the time.
I used to work AX25 Packet on VHF but that was over 25 years ago, this
is very different!
Thanks again.
