Comments: 
On balance a very cool  weekend with family and ham radio goings-on. I knew 
there would be many  distractions over the weekend, so I ventured for the 
first time poco a poco into  the ASSISTED category. Oooh! Finally got 
_www.dxspots.com_ (http://www.dxspots.com/)  to talk with my N3FJP  software and 
what a difference in operating style Assisted can be! S&P turns  into: Point, 
click, listen/confirm, F-key, BOOM, TU. Of course, a better antenna  would 
help to hear many of the stations I couldn't hear, but that's another  
matter. I can see now how one would want to have a receiver in each ear and not  
go crazy! Very efficient that could be. Well, now I've got to make a serious  
transition over to N1MM logger and figure out the dx spotting and its 
filtering  better. Sometimes less is more (but usually not in contesting :) )
