Sorry ’bout that, my software is giving me fits. Macro keys are all misconfigured, (or maybe, it’s just me). Got all your info, -20C, brrrr. Too cold for this California boy. 🙂 It’s a nice 60F here, and just a few clouds. I’m operating from the luxury of my dining room table. heh. BTU , VE3IAC de K6HX K
