Problem is that due to prior scheduled load and resultant weight 
restrictions, I was only able to bring the FT897D and a bag of wire 
antennas. They said the two 756ProIII's, 4 steppir ants and 2 Alpha amps 
might get sent up on next week's flight. Which means I'll have to stay an 
extra two weeks because I won't be able to work the pileups using SO2R as 
fast as I had planned. I'm now relegated to SO1R with one antenna at a 
time.. Gheeezzzz..

73, Tom
