Comments:
Many Thanks to Ken for fine station, what a dream. Started with HP 20M SB at
starting bell, with goal to use push/pop & learn those, get to know the
station for next trip & practice rates on rtty. Seemed to play.
20 seemed to fade on Sunday afternoon & during outside walk around the yard
to wake up, looked at 40 meter beam & thought...- Turned off Alpha &
turned on packet, set K3 to QRP and played 40. Was fun doing S&P and
seeing who could hear the station, Really enjoyed final hours of the test on
40
20M log is uploaded with the 40M log, logcheckers have those QSO's.
The station had the P3 next to K3, had always thought that screen was bit small
but it is so plug & Play - makes finding clear frequency easy.
Many thanks to Ed W0YK for guidance & answering RTTY questions. One might
note how Ed sets his keyboard & rig , seems like the next step in evolution
of station layout.
And both AA5AU's web pages & W0YK's presentations & both postings on
various writelog / K3 / RTTY keystrokes were very useful. Thanks Gentleman.

PS: It is a LONG flight to get there, land at PEI about 1:15AM. A 1st for me
being on a missed approach as the guy at window goes, we just flew right over
the airport. The pilot came on with the ooops message, a stronger tail wind
caused them to overshoot which brought more fear as planes tend to land into
the wind, not with a tail wind. Sure took long turn around to make another
pass. to have heard what went on in the cockpit would been worth admission...
