Comments:

I never really got into this one. Setting up I  noticed that the TS-830S 
second
radio (turns 30 this year) would not key the  amplifier most of the time - I
suspect the relay has given up after all these  years. When I made the first
qso, I discovered I had not set up the keyer  memories. Fixed that, but 
clearly
20 was going out to everywhere except  N4OGW. Sixes, who were not loud, 
usually
did not come back to me, and several  of those who did needed fills.

Forty was squeezed in between the cookie  cutter RTTY test of the weekend 
and
the FOCers. 

But I plugged on,  running SO1R2C3D - One radio, two computers (read news 
online
between  everything), and three displays - kept an eye on the Cavaliers 
game on
the  TV. 

Nice to once again hear some loud signals on 40 from places closer  than 
Texas.
