Update from Paul ET3PMW:

>Good Morning Bill,  Nothing here on 160 or 80.  The main reason is I
>overslept this morning and didn't get on the band until 0255.  Both 160 and
>80 sounded fairly quiet but nothing heard.  Did make a number on Q's on 30
>the last two mornings.
>
>Progress report is slow here.  Still no Amp.  Set everything up last night
>and then Dales 735 wasn't operating in CW.  My 706 needs an external relay
>to key an Amp so that doesn't work with the amp until I find the information
>I need to try and build something.  I have the 706 book but not the
>schematic with me.
>
>Dale did get the Radio works 80 meter antenna up yesterday.  I used it on 30
>this morning and it seemed to work pretty well.  The receiving antenna will
>be finished today so slowly we are making a little progress.
>
>Dale hasn't even attempted to operate or even listen since his hearing is so
>poor.  It's even difficult to communicate with him.  It looks like the
>contest is all up to me so I'm not sure how long I'll be able to hang in
>there but will make the most on at least the low bands.
>
>73,
>Paul
