Mike,

>Sorry, Bill. Did my post really offend you?

Heck no! It was late. There had been stories, earlier, of effective Medfer 
antennas that I was excited about... and then you came through with that one 
about a 5ft dangling antenna making it to MD! <still chuckling about it> I 
was just trying to be funny in my reply and sign off as well. Sorry to make 
you worry.

BTW: What is going on at the low end of the Medfer band these days, around 
530k? Is there a chance of using digital modes to advantage there?
