     Comments:  This was a blast=20
1) The TS850 is a great second radio and using it and the MP earned =
early SO2R QSOs.
2) The MP developed low output on the high bands after about one hour of =
operating.
3) Missed an hour troubleshooting-no joy-hello, Yaesu service?.
4) The 850 is an admirable run radio also :)
5) Losing the hour early and taking a break to eat wings and poppers =
with the wife (the joys of single op!) was actually a good idea as my =
best rates were in the last hours of the test -the 10 Q meter went to =
173 on 160!
6) Found out you can wrk people using a 160 L on 80 if you forget to =
switch antennas  =20
7) Heard lots of NCC and MRRC guys. Seems like half my Qs on 160 were =
with TN? Sometin in the air down there?
9) Had horrible noise at times on 10 and 15-copied W8VE as Joyce (sorry =
Roger!)
10) I think this was my best rate and totals in this contest ever-it was =
fun, fun,fun-as long as I didn't look to my left at the sick MP. =20
