Comments:

I had just gotten back from 6 weeks of vacation (had a ball) and a bit of a
sinus problem so not a full strength.  Had a couple of equipment problems since
I haven't done any maintenance in a while and ended up SO1R most of the time. 
Gotta find out why the RX died in one K3.  You're just not going to catch
anybody with SO1R these days so I packed it in after one day which made Joyce
happy.  

40 sounded good to EU and JA with some good BY activity on 40.  Operator
competence and RX ability in BY seems to have greatly improved and that was nice
to see.  I'm now getting serious about setting up the station for remote
operation because driving an hour to the station every time is getting old. 
Haven't had a competent home station in 40 years and never get to practice on
the air which means SO2R skills (what little I have) go down the drain.  I'm
hoping operating remote from home will improve my ability to compete.

Still had fun while I was on and congrats to K5GN, N2IC, K5PI, N5AW and N3BB for
leading the charge around here.

73,
Bob K5WA
