Comments:

Well, conditions must not have been that tremendous. Very little on 10m, 
sparse on 15m. Although around 2000z, 10m was wide  open from GA to the 
northeast through midwest -- just no one was on.

This is the second time to try 2-radio operation. First was 1995 SS Phone 
at W4AN's superstation. Operation was somewhat jury-rigged. I wired up 
headphone connectors with a single slide switch -- so I could list to 
both radios, or just the kenwood. Used separate microphones for each 
radio. Second radio was responsible for exactly 7 QSOs, mostly 15m while 
running slowly on 20m. It's a lot harder to listen to the second radio on 
the lower bands.

Rates weren't really that high in this contest, compared to January. 
Spent three hours total on 20m, and slightly less on 40m. Managed to hold 
a run frequency on 40m for an hour and a half. 40m was the money band 
this contest. 80m very disappointing. I think everyone may have gone to 
bed early.

Lots of fun this time. Worked a bunch of  SECC'ers.
