	Jim Spence, KB3AFT, and I decided to do two single band efforts this
	weekend after just getting back from WP3R (Congrats to Jim on super
	effort from there!!!!) and knowing that there was just too much
	work to get the station ready for all band.  Both Jim and I had to
	fight power-line noise all weekend with mine worse on 10M with most of
	the time being S7 and sometimes S9-plus mainly to Europe.  Some rain
	on Saturday quieted it down for a while.  This is very upsetting to
	build such a competitive station and have this problem.  This station           was super quiet a few years ago.  We are working with the power company         and using techniques from the Navy to hopefully solve these problems            this summer.

	The station worked very good considering the noise and also that I              misjudged when the band would be open and missed the openings both days.         There was only room for Jim to sleep in the shack and I decided to drive         home both nights and drive back in the morning.  That was clearly a         mistake since that ate up 2 hours of driving time and about 2.5 hours of         prime opening time in the morning.  Live and learn!!!

	Congrats to the NY4A score from W4ZV who I am sure knew when to be there         for the band openings!!!

	Congrats to Jim, KB3AFT, also who did a pretty fine effort on 15M with         all the similar problems he had with power-line noise too, etc.

	73, Jim  WA3FET (KC3R, K3CR, and WP3R!!!)

	PS: Special thanks to Mike Jacobs, N3YAV, who did a great job of helping
	to get the stations ready.
