Funny you should say that :-) I have been running the Sportster on the BBS
since 18:49 last night 04 March.  So far everyone seems to be connecting
and moving their files as good as ever . . everyone but you that is.  You
seem to be getting heaps of retries during file transfers.  Your transmit
level is way up too.  Perhaps you have it wound up too far for the
Sportster . . .

later . . . just read your message about the rain - would that cause your
much increased transmit level?
