Jim,

I have a valid license.

An interesting aside is that the antenna tuner (in my case an at130)
needs to briefly transmit in order to tune to the correct frequency.
This brief transmission (activated when the tune button is depressed)
was also blocked. So even though it's legal to listen on these bands
you can never tune the antenna.

Is this you, Carl? If it is, you're gonna have to UPGRADE that
Technician's license before you get on HF....(c;

Congratulations, by the way, on passing your test! I've been a ham since I
was 11 in...well, er, ah...1957. Hope you have half as much fun on ham
radio as I have in the last 47 years. I was the FIRST ham to legally
transmit the ASCII code the instant it was legalized in the 4th call area.

Just for info, anyone can find a hams information from the FCC or the
website www.qrz.com. It's pub-lick. If you go to:
http://www.qrz.com/detail/KG6TOU
you can even get the map to Carl's house, and his coordinates for your GPS!
Set a waypoint and surprise him some day!...(c;
