    Final Score = 119400 points.

Operated 7:36.  If I had gone full-time, this would have 
probably been a personal best.  The low bands were HOT, and
the second radio gets more use each contest.  Highlight was
a 125 hour from 0320 to 0420.  About 1/2 way into the contest,
the HF hiss from the crummy AF output stage of my IC-765's was 
driving me mad.  I installed filter caps on the headphone lines 
as suggested by K2UA and K8CC.  The reduction in hiss made an
*enormous* difference in being able to use the 2nd radio better.
Thanks for the tip guys!
