Comments:

When the band opened for me at 1200z Sunday morning,
the WM7D sun data was SFI=160, A=8, K=2, sunspots=208.  
Good but not great.
Under these conditons I get about 10 hours of 10m time 
each day.  In the contest I put in 11.5 hours, pushing it 
out a bit. Once the Europeans faded things got slow, but
new folks kept showing up. Curiosity seekers, I guess.
All in all, it was a great contest and I want to thank 
the innovators who conceived and implemented it.

I've been experimenting using MMVARI as my RTTY engine for 
N1MM plus a stand alone copy of MMTTY with its oscilloscope
peeking out through all the other windows. I much prefer 
oscilloscope tuning to the waterfall. I don't have enough 
computer screen real estate to display the rest of MMTTY. 
And the computer is old and slow and that's all it can handle.
Just turning on the wireless connection breaks the CPU's back,
so I had to run unassisted, which is normal for me anyway. 
This meant I had to populate the band map myself, 
which had the advantage that I could hear everything that 
was there.  ;-))

Christmas is coming and maybe Santa will bring me a 
supercomputer. With a great big screen.

73 and Happy Holidays,
Kermit, AB1J
