Thank you :-)

Yes it is easy. But i would recommend to come on 8270 Hz. You could go 
to 8269.9975 Hz regularly. A 'channel' distance of 2.5 mHz has 
established since some time now. This frequency is covered by most 
grabbers. You will not cause QRM at all. Even if you are strong enough 
to be detected here, people would be happy instead of angry.

73, Stefan
