Comments:
I couldn't believe it... 
all 5 transverters worked! 
And all 6 antennas too!
Not many contacts due to FT8 drain off, but a lot of upper band contacts this
time on ALL available bands.
FT8 is draining away SSB & CW participation.
We need a rule change: work once per band per mode, not just once per band.
3 modes: CW, Phone, Digital.
This will promote not only SSB but CW participation as well.
