Vince,
We've always had a few brain dead. W2OY (not the current holder, the guy back in the 60s) comes to mind. A good theory test won't filter 'em out (nor a cw test either). Unfortunately, there are no mental exams required to obtain a license ![]() I wish I was running on 160 again. I've never witnessed poor operation on the top band. It seems the quantity of lids is proportional to the propogation. 73 from Rochester, NY Jim AA2QA "Vince Fiscus, KB7ADL" wrote in message hlink.net...
