Just a note to thank everyone not only for their responses to my pathetic plea :) but also for all the information I have picked up just reading these threads. Fyi I did fire it up today & it only took me 15 minutes to realize the paddle plug does not go in the key socket :(
I did some 'off the air, in test mode' transmitting & setting up my cw mode - boy am I have to shake the rust off after ~20 years of not using a paddle. Then I started listening on 20 ssb with my new 80/75/40 fan dipole. There was S79C working 5 up on 14.260 & abt a S5 on the meter. Unfortunately I haven't gotten to getting the Heil headset to work on the mic side, that's for tomorrow.
Bottom line - after the initial intimidation I'm really motivated to get going on the air, tho I have worked S79 in the past :)
Thanks again & 73
