   That's one of the two main reasons I did it. When contesting, I was finding   
   people just below the general limits. The second reason is that I was pretty   
   sure I could get my son's picture in QST magazine if I did it right.

   I'm not really following this line of thinking.

   For forumlas, definitely. But for everything else, whether on the electonics   
   bench or out working on antennas or operating, I don't want to keep heading   
   to the internet over and over. And besides, I've never found something for   
   radio on the internet that worked perfectly without tweaking.

   Guess you're not interested in mesh networking yet. :)
