Radios 2 X TS - 950SD + Timewave DSP's

10M - Radio #1 
	No antenna.  Called CQ with the 80M dipole, but to no
 	avail.  Worked one local for only QSO.
15M - Radio #1 	6L 
 	This was a great band!  No QRM, lots of good signals.
20M - Radio #2	6/6
 	Was a little slow off the bat.  Had to stop to check on  an antenna prob=
lem
	only a few minutes into the test.  By then 20 was just packed with signal=
s.  It 
 	would have been nice to pick out a run freq ahead of time and stay there=
. 
40M- Radio #1 	4/4
 	Started slow, but finally found a freq. and made good use of it.
80M - Radio #2	3L @190ft
	What  a mess!  It started slow, just like 40M.  Seems like
 	the stations further east had already planted themselves on
 	a good freq and stayed put.  By the time we got there, it was
 	packed from 3800 to 3900.  When things cleared up a bit and 
 	propagation got better, Joe proceeded to create a monster
 	pileup. The pig farmers were out in full force!  We were blasted
	by machine gun sounds and recordings of our own transmissions. 
160M - Radio#1 	=BC wave ground plane w/elevated radials
 	Lots of mults.  Can't wait to get the Force 12 rot. dipole up at 190ft!
