>From my QTH propagation was horrible.  I started at 15m and heard only ! station
calling CQ and he was in the Carribean.  After waiting around for a while I went
to the mayhem at 20m.  The static levels were horrible and I had to dial in
everything my transceiver had to complete many of the qso's.  The FTDX101MP was
up to that, but wow, everyone was all over each other on 20m.  I could not run a
frequency more than two minutes before being bull dozed.   On 40m the static and
lightning crashes were worse, but I can actually run a frequency at the upper
end of 40m. I know I am not loud given my low dipoles but I could get short runs
going.  I was in the assisted category so I was using the N1MM+ to do directed S
and P, and to hunt multipliers using the mouse and the band map.  I refined my
technique doing that.  I learned a lot about how to manage QRM and QRN  quickly
on my rig, so I gage it a success since it improved me as an operator.  I always
have fun handing out our state's multiplier late in the game to grateful
operators.   As a low power station I do better in CW contests, but I have fun
in both types.
