Comments:

Once again this  was the first stop on my four station SS tour. 

Missed NE, MB, SK, NT,  PAC, and PR.

We had some reports of choppy CW on the relatively new K3  which was the 40
meter radio. We spent a few moments listening on the other  K3, and indeed 
it
did not sound good even the sidetone on the affected radio  was normal. TR 
did
some checking in the K3 manual and found an software  adjustment (Transmit 
delay
or something like that) which was at its maximum  value vs. the warning to 
not
set it too high. I think that was able to solve  the problem. This must have
been the RF version of the old saw of to err is  human, to really screw up
requires a computer.

Otherwise things played  well, and a good time was had for our first six 
hours
of SS.
