That didn't go as planned.  Saturday morning I started having stomach problems. 
It's hard to hold a run frequency when you have to go upstairs a couple times.  
Later in the morning I started getting chills and felt like I was in a bit of a
fog.  For example while I was running 20, I was working some stations on 15 with
the second radio, waiting for the band to open.  At 11:30 AM I realized the
second radio was listening on the 160 meter receive array.  I was able to catch 
the tail of an opening to Europe but I missed a lot of stuff.  Early afternoon I
couldn't take it anymore so I went up to bed, shivering uncontrollably.  I tried
again Sunday morning and went back to the easy chair after an hour.  At least I
have my sense of smell and taste.   

Kudos to radio manufacturers who have given us radios with superior receivers. 
But goodness, can we please have a similar focus on transmitter signals.  There
are far too many stations on the air with bad clicks.
