Sure enough, Gary....tried the SRF39 this morning, for a rousing round of NHK2 language lessons on 747 (now, if they could just teach me Japanese...).
It's a matter of grabbing the first Ultralight at hand when one notices one of the regular TPs being portly on the "big radio". You can be sure that I, and others, will be checking 1575.
Should be an interesting month coming up, I hope.
