Thanks for the info Wolf  it is good news with a foot in the door. I think =
that info would have escaped our notice. I will monitor the 30kHz because i=
t is the right time of year for working into EU from here. However you have=
 to be in the right place at the right time. Its do-able with that power to=
 UK during an "E" lift anyway. Please keep us posted with who's on if you c=
an.
