Comments:
Not quite the weekend I had planned for.
Had to work Saturday. I got on for the first couple of hours but then didn't
get back till 21:30 Saturday night. From there I operated right though
scraping together a total operating time of around 28 hours.

Worked both Lee MTN and Don XTT a few hours in Sunday as they gave me a
serials roughly a 1000 ahead!!!

Didn't you just love all those S504675645L calls

First real test with the new 2r setup so even though I had blew it for time
I could take the advantage to get some practice in.
Running without filters gets a little hair-raising around the harmonic but
at 100w the qrm isn't too bad at all. More so at LF.
Worked the other radio more or less non-stop making 402 qsos from it.
Surprising just how much more tiring this gets.

Really looking forward to doing a few more contests now with the new set-up.

Thanks to all that called.
Tim M0BEW.
