What a laugh riot... First realized it's a two-band 80/160 event -- no 160
antenna...with 8 minutes left, I run out to the garage, pull the 40m inverted
vee coax, stick the center conductor in a tuner output, plug the tuner input
into the 160 port of the six-pak, run back in, go key down on low power on 160,
run back out to garage and fiddle with tuner to try to find a reasonable
dip...finally find one, go back inside with 2 minutes to go.  

I had been practicing with N1MM part of the day and everything was set up and
ready to go...then found my paddles didn't work with it on LPT1 (they work fine
on TRLog).  No big deal...  Make a couple of QSO's on 80...not getting many
answers to cq's.  Getting NO answers to my calls to stations calling CQ on 160.
 N1MM sending the exchange report while in RUN.  Then won't let me call stations
because they are dupes.  Between keyboard and mouse, it was a BY fire drill at
KG5U.  TRLog never looked so good.
