Only two operators, only ONE RADIO!!!  Had a great time.  A line noise problem
(like S8 with noise blanker on) developed about 1-2 weeks prior to test.
Think
problem poles have been ID but electric utility not able to get to them before
the test.  A real bummer.  Quiet is much better.  That much noise is really
exhausting.  Hope to have it fixed before CW.

My thanks to George for inviting me over to operate.  A very gracious host.
Quite a switch from my usual low-power efforts.  Haven't used packet in DX
contest in about 7 years.  It has a mesmerizing effect sometimes, drawing one
into just chasing mults.  It was fun, though, for phone.
