Great score Hal... You mentioned 80m phone band being extended.... I remember my novice days back in 1975 and I had a crystal for 3.718 mhz.... I still haven't gotten used to operating phone those old CW only frequencies. Anyone else have those quick flashbacks?

Comments:

11 hours - all S&P.  Great to say Hi to so many old friends.  Surprised how
easy the sweep was compared to the CW run.  Worked two NNY at the start along
with two VI and other tough ones from 2 weeks ago.  All new antennas here - got
a lot of nice signal reports.
40 sounded better than 2 weeks ago, 21 not as good.  No elbow bumping on 75 SSB
anymore - I think spreading the phone band down to 3600 fixed that.

Thanks for all the Qs.  Nice to hear good participation and a lot of checks of
00 and newer.
