Comments:

First SS from my new QTH in NNY. It was great to pass out a new mult to many
people. This was a shake down for the first antenna. 

Highlights and observations: 

I'm an out of area PVRC guy for many years; it was great to work the "home
club." 

VO1MP called me. I was his NNY. He did 82 for 82. I had worked another NL.
That's a rare one for sure. 

Higher sunspots were evident: Skip was as short as 300 miles on 20M. MDC guys
were worked easily. Might be Es, not sure. 

Propagation is a bit different here. I've never worked so many SNJ in a SS. DE
was quite active. I've sweated both at times. I think WV was rarest of East
Coast sections.

Lots of guys must use pre-fills. I confirmed NNY rather than WNY a lot. 

Used Beta version 4147 of N1MM Plus. Seems to work OK, but I need to
investigate how working spots operates. The radio seemed to spot high in
frequency. There may be an offset setting that I don't know about. I'll try my
FT-1000 with N1MM and N1MM Plus and see if they act the same. 

I used a laptop. The power on/off is next to escape. Note to self: "Don't
push power button while running." I'll get a keyboard next time. 

73, Ray
