Comments:

MY PLAN WAS TO USE MY CORSAIR FOR *SINGLE BAND- 
10 METERS-- LOW POWER, @ 88 WATTS, WHERE MY
"WINDOM" UP 33 FEET HAS MOST GAIN, AND THE
ENTIRE BAND CAN BE WORKED BY THIS GENERAL.

BUT MY CORSAIR DIED*AGAIN* SO FORTUNATELY MY UNCLE, WB6BWZ, LOANED ME HIS 
BACKUP YAESU FT-7:

THIS IS A 10 WATT "QRP" RIG BUT- POWER CANNOT BE PROPERLY BUMPED DOWN. 10WATTS, 
NO LESS, NOT MUCH MORE. 
THIS SPECIFIC RIG HAS THE PHONE BAND CRYSTAL ON 10 METERS. HA HA HA HA.

THEREFORE, 10 METER QSO'S AND MULTIPLIERS ARE PRECARIOUSLY MISSING FROM THE 
ENTRY FORM.

IT WAS AN EXPERIENCE; FORCED ME TO SEARCH AND POUNCE AND CALL EVERY CQ I HEARD! 
THE FUNNY PART IS, I MOSTLY REMEMBER HEARING,

"AGN" and then "AGN" and then after the 2nd attempt, hearing my call sent back 
to me not yet quite right! Even more hilarious than that is, for all that work, 
my entry remains: Single Operator ALL Band, LOW POWER- instead of QRP!!!!

Reading this post as it is written, my mind is filled with UPROARIOUS LAUGHTER!
