WOW Talk about a rocket start...the first 4.5 hrs were rate plus.  Of course 
thing went down after that. Sparky the RateDog showed his new Padawan 
how its done! but couldn't keep it going.  Activity was super.  The bands were in good shape.  
Rates on on 10 and 15 were great and I stayed to long on 15.  The late jump to 20 cost me.
QRN on 40 caused me to jump back and forth to 20.  Couldn't get anything on 80 until late.
I only missed two states ... SD and WY.  NV and HI came in the last 10 minutes!!
Equipment ran great and the only problem I had was RF in the USB/RS232 line.  
More ferrites and a reboot cured the problem.  Seems 15M is the problem.
Now to see how the K3 work with RTTY 

73 KI6VC & Sparky 

RF cures Global Warming...Save the world
