Got on for a little while using a Collins 310B homebrew clone exciter 
and push-pull 814 amplifier.  Claimed HP since output was around 250w.  
Exciter just lashed together on a temporary chassis sitting on the bench 
with a HRO micrometer dial and gear drive.  No whooshing when moving 
around this time.  First buffer is grid block keyed and oscillator keyed 
with a footswitch, good for spotting. Tried all sorts of differential 
keying methods and nothing really sounded good.  Eventually the exciter 
will be rebuilt and part of a new rack transmitter running a pair of 813s!

Looks like QSO totals way down.  QRN was mostly manageable, noisiest to 
the west and northwest.  DX TM6M, NP2J, and KV4FZ.  Only ran TX antenna 
in omni mode.  Good check of RX antennas for upcoming KH1 dxpedition.
