Comments:

Band conditions were very good in general.  Open early and stayed open late both days.  EU came in
early but faded fast. Only work 3 AF Qs.  Activity on SSB was wild and I had some crazy rates but I found
CW more rewarding   ?   For WAS I only missed WA .  I hope the weekend is end to 2 very $$$ months. 
One hour before the contest my laptop died...again.  Had to move the desktop--N1MM needed to be
configured for the K3....can't find the macro for the DVR. 
 Once I got it running and things were moving 
well the keyboard died.  Sunday N1MM kept saying my VFO was at 8 gig!  After some time I figured it 
was RF in the USB/RS232 converter.  Some ferrites fixed that.  
This was my second test with the K-line and my fat fingers made for some interesting 
hang ups.  I keep the manual in the background.  Super impressed with the P3.  The Scale and QSY
features makes it EZ to drop my passband in the best spots.  Dial-Pop-rig QSYs Sweet.
It's good to see so many young contester joining the fray.  I'm just 3 miles from K6ZED and ZedZed.  Friday 
nite I heard her bust a pile up on a DX.  Asked her score she said 200 Qs!   GOTCA...Ya big joke... BUT 
it won't be joke for long..!!!
