Comments:

This was a part time effort gone mad.  Family time ruled with daughter’s
basketball game Friday night, sleeping in Saturday morning and a family movie
that night (Iron Man – recommended BTW) , and major working hours on Sunday.

Had a F-A-N-T-A-S-T-I-C run on 20-meters Sunday afternoon.  Great FUN and it
added greatly to my score.  (I love when JA’s call me) Since I was on/off so
much, can’t be real certain on propagation changes but I would say that
Saturday night was real stinky.  Sunday afternoon had a very low noise floor. 
QSB was typical for this phase of the cycle. Our recent rains helped my ground
situation on 80.  The Loop loaded like a charm.

The software upgrade to the FT-950 made pulling weak stuff out terrific. 
It’s a solid RTTY radio at a great price.  We’re still using version 8.12.7
of N1MM with MMTTY.  It did crash a couple of times, but I’m using all kinds
of drivers and RF might have caused the issue. 

Thanks for the Q’s.
