[CQ-Contest] Fwd: Dimly lit working environments:

[Joe]

I could really stretch this dim ness some too, being an avid amateur 
astronomer I also have programs that modify the monitor into nigh vision 
saving red mode where like a B&W TV is varying shades of black to white, 
this does black to a light pink, works awesome at the telescope.
