Comments:

After rebuilding the shack (ripped out the 4 stations and the M/M operation
during the holidays), I found the new configuration very comfortable.  The plan
was to have a second radio but it is in the shop, so ran one radio (K3).  SO1R
Assisted category.

I really enjoyed using some features I seldom use in MM operation (N1MM+)and
found things ran pretty well. Did have a weird situation where calls entered
just disappeared from the log yet re-entering the info yielded a DUPE notice
(good) but where the calls went to is still a question.  Perhaps they will
re-appear in the Cabrillo file.  First time using a skimmer and found that
pretty cool. As far as accuracy, I thought is was pretty good.  

Conditions during the first 24 hours were absolutely terrible.  I have never
seen such high A and K indices from WWV.  Killed all the bands and of course no
hope for 10 M (then) but things slowly improved until 24Z Sunday night - a
little late for the contest of course!  But it is, what it is.

Got plenty of sleep given the poor conditions.

Thanks to all that called in, have some amazing rates for this ole guy.

73, Mark, K1RX
