Comments:

Thanks to Walt, N6XG and his wife Liz for inviting me down to play at thier 
fine home and station.  I usually don't get on for SS, but I got on for a few 
hours to help the club effort.  Since this is the first SS I've done in years, 
I got off to a shakey start... To let you know how long it's been since I 
operated SS:  after I did a band change, I went to work a few people on the new 
band and they all told me I was a dupe.  No way, as I was fresh meat on this 
band.  I was convinced that CT was busted since it was showing dupes when I 
hadnt worked them on that band.  Duh!  You can only work each station once in 
SS.... (I told you it's been a long time!) 

I thought I was doing horrible (I was), but after a few hours I realized I 
wasn't too far off from other locals.  I was shocked!  The only explanation I 
can think of was poor activity.  Murphy struck a bit later when the RX went 
dead and the amp tripped and showed high VSWR.  After some troubleshooting, 
Walt found the right angle connector on the back of the amp was bad (it was 
open!).  

All in all, a good time.

Kenny K2KW
