We need to come up with new words for how crappy the bands were/are!!   None we have now tell the true story!
Did a lot of prep for this weekend.  Took comp time Friday.  Major fixes for the RV...bottled/kegged two of the
four batchs of CQP homebrews...completed several major household projects/chores...did double workouts 
Friday and Sat morning and a double dog walks for the lads.  Snacks, juice, water, RedBull all ready.  
I was scanning 15 b4 the test so I started on 20.  The first hour was sloooow but hour 2 and 3 were great with
super rates.  It was down hill from there at one point logging only 10 Qs in 30 mins.  Did a lot more S/P just to 
keep up those numbers. Even the cheerleaders couldn't drum up much action.  After hour 3 the best I had was 
small 10 minute surges and long gaps of nada/zilch.  I had set aside a wee dram of Jack and super primo 
see-gar to decompress afterwards but I ended up needing a snoot full and putting the stoogie back in the box.

The new 160 sloper has de-tuned the shunt load for 80.  I re-tuned it on CW but I discovered it's effect on 75 
were more than the ProIII's tuner could handle. But since the noise was 10 over on both 75 and 160 I gave up early.
 
I decided to go with my super $$$ arthritis meds see if it saves my knees.  Yes it did but no butterflys.  Considering
the cost you would think they could toss in a small buzz.  I'll just stick with the Jack and homebrew.
