Comments:

A very busy weekend, but I managed to put a few hours in Saturday  
evening and Sunday afternoon. Very easy to work stations at this  
time, since they've worked just about everyone else.

Funny story Saturday night. Everyone else had gone to bed, so I  
cranked up the station. I noticed a weird hum coming from the  
amplifier that I couldn't explain. About 15 minutes later, I heard my  
kids stomping around and screaming in the kitchen. I ran upstairs to  
find the cause. Turns out, my rig was getting into a set of powered  
computer speakers in the kitchen and tha was the source of the weird  
hum. I turned the speakers off and sent the kids to bed.
