On SSB, the TR rate meter hit about 165/hour...during the E-
skip opening to the NE on Saturday night.  My total 
operating time CW and SSB was about 3 - 3.5 hours.

I don't do anything special...there are a few "birdies", 
but not many, and not very loud.  I think the key is having 
the antennas installed outside...any time you've got indoor 
antennas near the computers I think you'd have some 
problems with interference between the radio and the 
computers.

Good Luck!
