whew what a let down!  i decided to use CT only to send CW, which proved to be 
a bad mistake.  RF got into the computer like crazy and messed up the keying 
and froze up the computer.  I tried the station ground, filters, rfi cores, 
everything.  Nothing seemed to help.  Could run 90 watts on 10, 300 on 15, 60 
on 20, and 700 on 40 and 80.

total op time turned out to be 4.2 hours according to CT.  

had some fun moments, amazing what u can work with even just 50 watts on 20 and 
a vertical... some good ears out there!  got spotted a few times on 40 by EU, 
that was cool :)

limited effort, but fun when the computer worked right....

r6000 vert for 10-20, dipoles on 40/80 at 60-70'
TS-430S and SB200
