soap: GAWD! this is fun. Not bad for single op from here. Tried some real
two radio operating- its quite a distraction. The SS exchange is too long
to try to hold the run freq on 1st radio while working someone on the 2nd
radio- especially if the barefoot Drakes to the vertical don't get 'em on
the first call. My personal best was 1102 Q's in '92 and I came close to
it this time, with the additional multiplier.
80 meters played well for me Saturday night, but 40 carried the load. 40 
was open coast to coast most of the day and night. 20 was so so and 15 
only good for big west coast stations. I even listened some on 160 but no 
fun there. Got my sweep from VE5SF at around 18:00. Could concentrate on 
rate all Sunday afternoon. VE6SH/8 answered my CQ but I had already 
worked 'JA Saturday aftyernoon. Finished up at around 02:15 with 24 hours.
Hope to work you all on ssb- maybe from bigger station.
