WHAT DOES N1MM AND A TSA PAD-DOWN HAVE IN COMMON?? 

Random Thoughts:

The bands were HOT and it's great to have the beam back...better than ever!
Things started out with a bang on 20 working EU short path and VKs and ZLs long path. 
15M on Sat morning was great with a strong EU AND AF opening. Worked station 
from CU down to D4. Late afternoon the JAs and  RU0s joined the party 
in mass.  When 15 died the AS opening continued on 20.  So many JAs the Buro guy is 
go'na flip  Not much DX had on 80 but had some really good runs to make up for it.
Saw some activity posted about 10 but I didn't hear a thing...15 was just to hot anyway.

Had a problem with 40 Friday nite just went to 80 and had good time there.  Sunday morning
at 10:00Z 80 dead so came up with a work-around got on 40 and got swamped with JAs...as 
it should be! I can only hope ARRL DX will be this good!!
 
Activity in general was Very good and a special TU to all the cheerleaders...WhipMe BeatMe
make me work those runs!!  

I'm not sure if there is any "protocol" on RTTY and I have no problem with the cute stuff
the ;-) and the like BUT all the line-feeds make it ruff.  The calls just scrolls off the 
demod window and makes the {grab} utility usless. Then there was the guy that did is call
vertically...

The Lads were quite until I returned from a visit to N6WIN's camp site and his
merry band of well behaved CrumCruncher, very understanding XYL and a little lady-dog
The boys were REAL excited so much I had to multi-task...Scratch ear/click mouse. 
They are all set for Tim's visit to the ManCave during ARRL DX. Hope Tim can take a
good "licking"
