Comments:

Well quite an interesting day.  We (my YL and I) were pretty much on
schedule arriving in Early county around 10:15AM ESDT.  Got everything 
working and made a few contact and the screen went very dim!!!  Tried 
everything rebooted several times, but nothing would make it right.  Finally made 
the decision to make the trip back home to get another laptop.  After it was off 
for a half hour, I tried it again and it came back up just fine.  But after a few 
minutes it went dim again.  Thought that it might be a fan issue, so put the car's 
AC on and directed it to the area on the laptop where the fan is located.  From
then on, there was no problem with the dim screen.  

Unfortunately this computer's battery is dead also, so had to keep it
plugged into the 12 volts all the time, some times it would pull out and cause
the computer to power down.  Real pain.  So if you noticed that I
disappeared abruptly, then this was the reason.    

Nevertheless, managed to make it to Early, Seminole, Miller, Baker,
Mitchell, Decatur, Seminole and finished in Early again.  

Conditions were not to good.  Lots of noise in SW Georgia.  Did manage
to work several DX station.  

Thanks to everyone for the Qs.  Hope to see everyone in a couple of
weeks in the  FQP and then the first weekend in June for the Alabama QSO 
Party.
