I strongly agree with Frank, not necessarily because of RDF, which measures against noise from all directions, but because of better F/R against the usually noisy Gulf area. In my case the NCC-1 is invaluable because you can tune it for very high rejection of signals from the Gulf. Unfortunately lightning took out my NCC-1 and I haven't yet sent it to DXE for repair (no schematics from DXE, Tim). 73, Bill W4ZV _________________ Searchable Archives: http://www.contesting.com/_topband - Topband Reflector
