Comments:
 
Short operation from home QTH.  First time not doing a 24 hour operation in
SS
CW since 1992.  Did a lot more listening than actually working people,
sounds
like activity was kind of lower than usual (?) 
 
SO2R with Orion II, Omni-VI Plus.  Amplifier on run radio, Omni-VI 100
watts.
Antennas, 135' off center fed dipole at 30', 40 meter dipole at 15'.  
 
We'll be doing a serious multi-op as K4JNY at the K4JNY/W4PA contest QTH for
SS
phone for the 3rd year in a row coming up in 2 weeks.  Listen for us.
