Had to work Saturday so that took all the incentive to try and get a better 
score.

First time I've tried SO2R and it was a lot of fun.  This was a test drive. 
I can't ever see operating a contest and only be able to listen to 1 band at 
a time. Still have some interference problems between radios, but will be 
building some more stubs next week.  Also need lots of practice listening to 
2 radios.

Good to work Don again on 40 Saturday night.

Friday I decided to throw up a 15 meter dipole at about 15 feet.  Glad I did 
as I was surprised to find 15 open Sunday afternoon after I got back home.

I really need an amp here!  Europeans were CQ'ing in my face Sunday morning 
and I think I must have heard QRZ or AGN?? a hundred times this weekend.

N1MM performed perfectly.  What a super piece of software the programmers 
are putting out.

Thanks for all the Q's and looking forward to the next one.
