I wanted to see how the two  radios compared and found them both to be very
satisfactory.  I couldn't  see any discernible difference between them.  
Both
are good  radios.

I slept four hours both nights as things got real slow and got  back up at 
4 am
to work some remnants of the east coast.  I thought  conditions were better 
the
first night and signals seemed weaker and more  fading on Saturday night.  
The
second night was slow digging out  stations that I didn't work the first 
night. 
It was worse than Sunday  afternoon in the SS.

I missed MAR, PR, AK, NL, and NT.  DX was PJ2T  (worked before sunset), XE
(lots), ZF2AH, and a handful of JA's.

A fun  contest.  Ten Meters next weekend.
