Morning Kin (and all), just to let you know that earlier today I upgraded<br>
the GB7DXC-5 node to mojo build 547; the upgrade appeared to go smoothly and<br>
everything seems to be working as normal.<br>
<br>
I don't know if any of the regular users of the node use HamClock but I'll<br>
look out for possible issues.<br>
