Technically, yes it does. Outside assistance, of any kind is
not allowed in the SO category.  A friend and I started comparing 
notes on 10M Sunday morning. During our discussion he inquired about 
a particular station I just worked, I advised him that its not allowed. 
He chuckled, and we continued discussing our zone, and country totals for
various bands.  I was SOA but he SO only. My .02 cents.

Equipment Description:  TS940 + Henry 2K4
                        160m - N4KG style reverse-fed 72' tower loaded w.
                               TH7/40-2CD/15M side-mounted & 3 elevated
                               radials ( 100 watts ).

                      20-10M - TH7 @ 73' + 15M 4 el @ 45' fixed SE

Excuses:  Part-time effort.  CT 8.53 sez 15 hrs on-time.  Seemed
          longer, probably due to lousy conditions, especially
          Saturday.  No Europe heard on 15M Saturday.  Bad flutter
          on 20M European signals later in day Saturday.  Tnx to
          those on 160 who managed to pick out my 100 w. calls.
          As mentioned by others, lots of LUs on bands. Could they
          be the next JAs?  9M8R had big signal on 40M both
          Sat. & Sun AM.
          Spent off-times refurbishing a 2nd TH7 destined for
          stacking, mowing yard, etc.

Subject: Which CW Filter for 765?

If you're only going to add one narrow filter, choose the 455 kHz IF.  It
will have a much better shape factor than the 9 MHz one.  In fact, adding
the 9 MHz filter, if you already had the 455 kHz one, would hardly yield
any improvement.

One very nice thing about the IC765 is that it allows more than one set 
of CW filters.  I had to build an outboard filter box for my TS-930.  It
has only the 455 kHz filter, and works very well.  I wouldn't want 
to be stuck with that narrow filter all the time, but it sure is nice
on 40 M during contests.

	I know that this isn't a forum for contest logging software,
but I have a problem with the latest NA 9.12 executable update I
received: the disk has an unrecoverable media error.  With CW SS
only days away, I need a surefire way to get hold of K8CC to get
another copy.  Does anyone know his internet address and whether or
not he sees mail to it regularly?  Is there a better way?
