Comments:

First of all, MANY THANKS to Al for the use of his station. We've been working
on getting it up to speed and are just about there.

Radios were FT2000 and IC7800, both driving Alpha 87A's. Antennas were a
MonstIR for 40, 15, and 10; 6 ele on 20, a 160M double bazooka, an 80M dipole
and an 80M inverted vee. Normally we would have had 8 elements on 15, but a
recent windstorm took down the 15M tower. Tower's back up, but there was not
enough time to rebuild the beam. Used N1MM for the first time and it worked
pretty much flawlessly for the entire time, with three networked computers.

Kind of surprised at the poor performance on 20. But 40 made up for it! 

Looking to improve receive antennas with some beverages for the future.

Thanks to all the stations who gave us Q's.

73 de Bill, W1HIJ
