Steve.
Strange that you are the only one that has noticed this. I have heard a lot 
worse said about POME'S from AUS sources over the years.
Glad that I am not a POME. Are you going to publish? A Wireless Operator 
needs a sense of humour on LF/MF.
G'day. You have a lot of information, was this research for your PHd
de G3KEV now back to pounding the morse key, 20 metres looks good at 
present.
