Dave,

      Congratulations on working a country you previously put on the 
air.  I can only imagine the "memories" that this brought back to you!

      I'm sure Greg was able to work them as well.  I listened a bit around 
that time and their signal appeared to be weaker than when I worked them at 
0259 GMT.  Good job!

      BTW, I just posted to my blog

<http://w8tn.blogspot.com/>

      an audio file and graphic showing how much the 125 Hz filter improves 
the reception on my Yaesu FT-1000MP MkV along with the VRF function.  I'm 
still a "newbie" on using this radio but I'm liking it more and more.


Clark, W8TN
