[RTTY] SO1U CQ-Contest SO2R

[Jack West XP]

Hi all,

Speaking of "Depends", I have BPH and have to urinate frequently.  So, in order to not 
break
often when "running" and losing the frrequency, I installed a portable "Contest Uninal" 
which I
mounted under the operating table.  This way, I can "hang it'' in a continuous manner.  My
XYL then brings me coffee frequently to keep me alert and meals to keep me nourished.

I feel this simple mod helps my score.
