Comments:

Fun weekend.

XYL gave me a "hall pass", bands were alive, my football teams were
victorious, had my first try at SO2R, and achieved my best score ever.

Given my modest set-up (Hex Beam @25 ft and various wires), I decided to
experiment with SO2R.  I ordered a Dunestar transverter with 10/15/20 mtr
bandpass filters to turn my Hex Beam into a "stack".  I refer to it
as SO2R "Lite".

I have a ways to go to make my SO2R operating skills "seemless" but
am glad I jumped in the pool.  It really helped me stay focused during the
non-peak contest hours.  It made me feel like I was being much more efficient
and, most importantly, it provided more fun.  

Thanks to all the stations who were patient with me.  I was a bit challenged on
some occassions with the SO2R N1MM menus and not sure of my transmit band. 

Thanks for the Q's - Hunter.
