Mal,

      Yes I have missed the frontier days, we must find new challenges
to keep it interesting!
BTW my ERP on 137 has been measured as 4W by a broadcast engineer and
prominent LFer, yet I don't think that's enough for a T/A cw QSO.
I imagine that given the 1W ERP limit for EU hams someone was
stretching the rules a bit to make cw QSOs across the pond!
