[CVCC] IOTA 2008 - W4PM

[H. M. Motley Jr.]

I worked Walt, K2WK, and Ed, KG4W.  They were  the only CVCCer's I ran across.

I mainly was in Run mode.  I found it very tough to break the pile ups to DX Island stations and S&P is not as much fund as "RUNNING 'EM" with N1MM.  That program rocks.  I was going to use DX cluster info and go SO Assisted mode but I've done something to N1MM and the spots don't appear on the bandmap for HF bands.  They are there for 6 meters but not HF.  So I went SO Unassisted.  Anyone got any idea what I screwed up so that spots don't appear on my band map for the HF bands?

Rather poor conditions on 20 but at least 15 was open a bit.  40 and especially
80 were covered with QRN making copy difficult. There were a number of stations
who called me who I just could not pull though the QRN.

Thanks for the Q's.
