I am looking forward to it,  #1 or #5001.

Waaaaaaa.  Lucky stiffs.

A billion thanks to Phil's, Bill's, Scott's, Lyle's, John's and others for
all the great work.  It is neat to have a system to try stuff on now.


Season's greetings to one and all.

The Mercury board worked right out of the box here. The only thing I  
noticed so far that I am concerned about is that it seems to be much  
more sensitive to impulse noise than any thing I have ever  
experienced. I live near a high voltage line and I think that is the  
source. My TS-2000 is not hearing them and my MFJ noise meter is not  
hearing them in the shack, but even with a dummy load on,  the Mercury  
is hearing a couple of pops a second in a random sequence. Turning on  
both noise blankers helps a lot, but still hearing muffled pops. That  
is something I will take up with the power company.
