The contest from hell!! I tested everything the nite before but an hour before the start the laptop
failed to boot. Some system error and lots of blue screens. I lost several hours at the start trying to repair it then moving
the desktop PC into the shack. While I have N1MM installed it's was not configured. Had to find the USB/RS232 
drivers, configure N1MM. Then there were all the cable bundles...I tywrapped them all!! After some really frustrations got it working. 
Band condition were soso. 15 good for a while yielding some nice runs but died like a light switch. 20 is always good and 
40 was slow. Both 40 and 80 had very high QRN levels but it's Aug! 10 ! Where was 10...heard only I sig on 10 ...KH6ZM!!
He was working stations but I heard nada. ZM was 10 over!
