Comments:

A part time effort -- too many commitments this weekend to put in a full
effort.  Got on for about 2 hours Sat afternoon/evening barefoot on CW, and
fired up the Alpha 99 on Sunday for about 3 hours of code in the morning & 5
hours of SSB in the afternoon. Had a problem with my TS850S receiver in CQWWCW
at HC8, but it performed flawlessly this weekend - compared receive side by
side with the FT1000D, and no difference.After years of using the FT1000D, I am
leaning toward the TS850S as my main radio. And the Alpha 99?  An awesome amp -
sure hate to see them out of production.

Installed a K1EA DVP VoiceKeyer I picked a few months back late Saturday Night
-- sure made operating SSB more pallatable (sp?). Got some great audio reports,
so it seemed to be doing fine.

I agree with K6LL - there sure is some nasty wide buckshot audio from some well
known calls.

Thanks to all for the QSO's and Happy Holidays to all!

73, Gator  N5RZ
