Comments:

This was suppose to be just a casual effort, but first night 80m results, with
just manual spotting results made me rethink the effort.  Hooked up PC to Rig
control that speeded up the S&P results.  But almost all of Saturday was lost
due to N1MM crashes- runtime error (v 11.1.3 a later upgrade was worse). 
Finally uninstalled and reloaded a 10.xx version and back on the air late Sat.
night. Almost pulled an all nighter - 40 and 80 doing great.

Worked several QRP stations (5w) and one at 4w,  Big Pile up on A65, switched
the SteppIR to 180 and he was clear and 579 LP - easy

Some of the FCGers are sure tough on 80 and 40m, I will have to get the 40m
beam up and improve 80m antenna to be more competitive.  

After using spotting networks, logging software, it is hard to think about the
contesting I did back in the 70's - paper logs, dupe sheets etc.  

Fun getting back into the fray.
