Comments:

Terry, N4TZ, and I decided to do a M2 WRTC work out.  Software, radios,
punch list for the big event.  We set up folding tables in the shack and
ran coax jumpers to the main feedlines of my station.  No beverages (since
there won't be at WRTC).  Single VFOs and no skimmer/packet.  We did run the
amps though to get some rate going.  Still nothing compared to what will
be at WRTC.

Conditions were not great.  Nothing on 10M and 15M was virtually useless to 
EU - let alone Russia.  40M closed down early as did 20M.  

It was hard for about half of this contest to have 2 productive radios.  And
even 
at 0730Z we decided that 2 hours of nothing wasn't really simulating WRTC so 
we decided to take a nap.

EU activity was pretty good in this.  US activity was poor and the rest of the 
world was extremely low.  Fun to run the Russians and Eastern Europe though.

Heard a number of other WRTC teams doing some version of what Terry and I were
doing.  Much thanks to Terry for making the drive from Indiana to my snow
bound Vermont QTH for the contest.
