Eric (NM5M) and I operated 15 meters at N5AU during CQWW SSB.  We had
two complete stations set up.  The first station was a TS-930S and
Alpha 77 (1 x 8877) working into fixed yagis pointing at Europe, Japan 
and Carib/SA and a tall rotary yagi.  The second station was a TS-930S 
and an AL-80 working into a rotary yagi at 60 feet.  With the exception 
of the Carib/SA antenna (Cushcraft), all 15 meter yagis are of the five 
element Telrex variety.

The basic idea is that station #1 calls CQ all weekend, while station #2
dials around finding interesting stuff to work, calling interesting 
things out on packet (and feeding KR0Y's single op + packet effort)
and smashing packet pileups.

I'm heading back to Dallas this weekend to operate N5AU in the ARRL
November Sweepstakes (CW).  Hope to work you in the event.
