I wanted to see how the two radios compared and found them both to be very
satisfactory.  I couldn't see any discernible difference between them.  Both
are good radios.

I slept four hours both nights as things got real slow and got back up at 4 am
to work some remnants of the east coast.  I thought conditions were better the
first night and signals seemed weaker and more fading on Saturday night.  The
second night was slow digging out stations that I didn't work the first night. 
It was worse than Sunday afternoon in the SS.

I missed MAR, PR, AK, NL, and NT.  DX was PJ2 (worked before sunset), XE
(lots), ZF, and a handful of JA's.

A fun contest.  Ten Meters next weekend.

73, Kurt W6PH
