Comments:

strictly part time, strictly s&p.  was a busy weekend away from the radio,
so
only dabbled, and played dx'er.  no mike for the 756, so had to use the
IC706.
only running 100 watts, no ssb filters and a dipole, so getting serious in a
phone test was out of the question.  15 was in great shape, and could
usually work everyone i heard if i stuck around the pileup long enough.

thanks to everyone for digging me out of the  QRM.

highlight:  hearing 5U7JB shout 'war eagle!' after i gave him a '59
alabama'.

my last contest from the alabanana republic for a while -- looks like i'm
headed
to charlottesville, va very soon.  my fiance (K0LAA) phoned yesterday with
details of the ham dream '100 acre farm on the hill' that we will soon be
invading (she signed the paperwork this morning).  haven't even seen the
place
yet, but i've already got a beverage and two towers planned.

see you from V31 in april.
