Hi gang, I just joined and I have NO idea how to use most of the site's features so please bear with me. I usually like to read the posts without a lot of comments on my part. I got my novice license in 1979 and upgraded to Advanced some months later. I'm a long-time ham but due to a variety of factors over the years, I actually have very limited experience with operating HF. So, please make allowances if I should ask dumb questions. 73, Max
