Comments:

No meters like 20 meters

Raging line noise, blank display on one TS-850, and the worst propagation I
have seen from 8P, but still had some fun moments.  Thanks to K2RD for lending
me his MFJ noise elimination boxes.  They worked surprisingly well, but took
away a lot of flexibility.

Had fun on Sunday.  When running the US, a station came on and said “There is
a Pakistan station on frequency.”  Certainly this was due to a broken AP1A
spot.  (I once wore an AP1A call sign badge at Dayton).  Not to pass the
opportunity, I said “Wow, I need Pakistan.  Please standby for the Pakistan
station.”  I could hear several station laughing and breaking VOX on
frequency.  I chuckled about that for a few hours.

Thanks to everyone for the QSO's. 

Great to see all the new callsigns on HF
