Club: Mother Lode DX & Contest Club

Highlights and Lowlights:

	* Missed Utah.  Can you believe that?

	* Worked NT in first half hour of the contest and two or three times again after that.
	* Had fantastic runs on Saturday.  40 meter CW was really hot.

	* Got called by OM2VL on 40 CW and Phone and did double-takes both times because he sounded like local.  Still find it hard to believe how strong his sigs were.

	* No SO2R, which had a lot to do with the lower score.  Some weird problem with the computer and second radio.  Would send the first two characters of exchange and stop.

	* Had to switch amps halfway through the contest.  Brand new relays (1 day old) in the AL-1200, and wouldn't make contact on receive.  Henry 3KD, as usual, ran flawlessly.

	* With no SO2R, I moved a triband beam on the lower tower (fairly non-essential alluminum) from the second radio antenna switch to the main radio switch and apparently blew up a trap.

	* Although the bands were pretty much open to US/Canada, signals seemed weak.  On the other hand, EU was hot.  We worked a boat-load of EU's.
	* Without SO2R, we both decided to sleep overnight.  Having done CQP overnight for several years now, it's hardly worth it without SO2R.  I just thought some sleep would help the day-time runs.
	* Martin had a flight to Paris and had to leave early on Sunday.
