PROIII, N1MM, MicroKeyer, Acom amp.

First time out with a real 160 M. antenna (Inverted L at 35 feet, 2 elevated
radials -- Thanks Barry, K5VIP, for antenna installation).  Still plagued with
RF problems shutting down ops -- had to operate with 200 - 300 watts most
times.  Also did my first serious attempt at running on Sunday afternoon.  Not
entirely comfortable with that but more experience will help -- no doubt in my
book that thus lies the path to more Q's -- even with an extremely modest
antenna.

Thanks for the Q's.  Vic, W4VIC
