Comments:

I had a lot of commitments this weekend so I elected to do SOAB-6.  The 5-minute
rule prohibited me from using SO2R, but to tell the truth I didn't really miss
it.

Conditions were super on both 10 and 15 Saturday morning with lots of long-path
to Asia much earlier in the day than one would expect.  

I spent almost 4 hours on Saturday morning and the remaining 2 hours late in
the day on Sunday.   But conditions on Sunday was just so-so on 15 & 20 and
poor on 40.

I had just installed version 3.0 firmware for my IC7800.  This allows me to
actually automatically reset my RIT to zero after logging an
"off-frequency" caller!  Before, I would often forget to manually
reset it to zero after logging a station while I was running.  N1MM also reads
the RIT setting of the radio and displays it at the top of the band-map.  My
other radio is a K3 and of course it already has this feature.

73, Sam W4PK
