I'll have another look tonight at the load tonight, that may be a bit 
pessimistic.

Just re-checked my guess for antenna alignment, can't see the translator 
but I think it's not quite pointing quite the right way, have another go 
tonight

2GB of ram, CPU is a 65nm 65W part, I have my box on for long stretches 
so power consumption is important.  I was tempted to get a 6000+, but 
all the ones I found were electron guzzling 90nm parts.
