Part-time effort. Leaving for VP9 early Wednesday, so packing and planning for
that over the weekend. Add to that some family stuff, and a visit by Murphy who
wanted to be a guest op. Good success when I CQ'd. MMTTY crashed with the
infamous "Divide by 0" error for which there is no solution, according
to posts on the Internet. Uninstalled, reinstalled, still the same. Switched to
an alternate laptop, all was well, but had to set up from scratch. S&p most
of the weekend because clicking on the N1MM Bandmap spots took me to the wrong
frequency. Sunday afternoon I finally figured out the spots were off by the
value of the Mark, 2125hz. The box for DI1 Shift Frequency for Enabled needed to
be checked. This now got the bandmap spots to decode for the most part, although
the rig now read off by 2.125khz. No problem, just ignore the rig.

Thanks for all the FRC'ers who called in!
Some amazing scores on the Contestonlinescores.com site!

CU next weekend as VP9I in ARRL DX CW, AB2E/VP9 from 14-19Feb outside of the
contest.
