Hello David!

  DP> Congratulations, Andy;

Thanks!

  DP> now for the 5wpm Morse test?

I need more practice!  <grin>

Interesting to know, but I'm not likely to be a US citizen, at least not for a 
while!

  DP> ...The best one is the Alinco DJ-G5...

I'll have to keep an eye out for that one.

At 350mW and with a typical HT antenna, how close would you say you have to be 
to the repeater?

  DP> Have fun, whatever you do.

Thanks!

Regards,
  - Andy.
