Comments:

* FT920 @ 100W
* 3-el tribander CL33 @45'
* Wires for 40/80
* N1MM Logger

The numbers will tell you I'm just not a phone op -- but activity lured me on
for a few hours between kids' hockey games and other family-type commitments.

The tribander is set for CW/RTTY so power was reduced with higher SWR. Wasn't
strong anywhere up high in the bands, even discounting the low power. I was,
however, surprised at the stations I was able to work on 10M on Sunday -- good
ears out there.

Spent a while Friday evening installing the new InRad filter mod board
(400/250hz) in the FT920. Much improved radio and I can't wait to see how it
works in CW and RTTY congestion. Didn't have a chance to try out a new pair of
80M delta loops (cut for 3.550) hauled into the air a week ago. 

Had fun when the radio and antennas were playing together. Looking forward to a
less-marginal effort from here in WAE RTTY, SS CW and CQWW CW tests.

Thanks for the contacts.

73, Bud VA7ST
