  Soap Box :

  Conditions on 10 were super from here
  considering where we are supposed to be in the solar
  cycle  !
  Am sure conditions must have been better
  further south ..... am slowly getting organized as SO2R
  as the bits and pieces start arriving so that should
  be another interesting challenge ....
  CT Log indicates that  operating time was about 34 hours
  but think I managed to really stay awake for about 37 or 38
 ( that was awake  not necessarily alert ! ).
  Was extremely pleased at the performance of both my computer
  designed and  Home built  OWAs.. they played beautifully and
  seemed to outperform the home made monobanders I had used previously .
  I guess a 20 meter version is now in the planning phase hi !
  Not sure where SO2R can fit into operating under these superb
  conditions....  had 18 of the 34  hours at over 100 per hour
   6 over 200 .. peak 280
   5 from 150 to 200
   7 from 100 to 150
   I guess it's an acquired skill or mebbe it's genetic with those
   who excel at it hi !
   Towards the end of the contest I looked often at the super combo keyer
   on the shelf beside me ( not hooked up )
   cleared my throat and wondered why I'm working so hard.
   Ice filters arrived today so I should get slowly re-organized hi !
   Now to get ready for sweepstakes ....
   73 Thanks for all the Q's
   C'Y'ALL next one GLWCDR
