Now that was different.  used my 706 with no CW filter, while the pro is in the
shop.
finally have my beam back up after a 2 month rebuild and having to wait for a
dry weather stretch. 

worked the SNS to get warmed up. (and by the way WELCOME to N1WPU in Maine who
gave me nr 2 in the SNS at 0220...hope we hear him again next time)
20 was ok with stations spread out in the SNS, but when 0230 hit on 20, w/ no 
cw filter it became pure chaos.  Couldnt even think about 039 to 043.. just 
a jumble of loud stations all beating against each other.  managed to work the
edges til most left for 40 and thinned things out.  much better.

went to 40 (had added a 40m element to the steppir rebuild) and to save time on
band change, went to the ol trusty sloper....since the steppir takes awhile to
stretch out to 40m length.   worked a few boys on 40, and then switched to the
extended steppir element, and signals jumped way up in strength.  a nice
change.

80 was tough with sun still up.. just a few worked. 

went to 160, and recalled that w/ the usual pro radio, i add attenuation to be
able to hear anything...and without it the noise is 30 over 9.  the 706 ATT
didnt cut it, so wound up having to switch from Inv L on transmit, to sloper on
receive on each transmission... a real zoo.. very funny.. and luckily only a few
minutes on 160 to do.

great to be back w/ the beam back up. see everyone next time.  nice to hear and
work most all you boys again.. 
thanks to K7WA and KK7S for WA mults and Qs.
