Tony -- thanks for the comment.  Is that "INT QRU" at the end of your comment? Wow, I haven't heard that since my navy days. SO much better than "QRU ?" !! IMO, the military had it *right* with the interrogative -- set the op up for the question to come. Too bad it never translated to ham radio. 73, Stan.

You could have bought this for less than that roofing filter you just splurged on!
