To  All-

I decided to get some CW/ N1MM contest logging practice in  this weekend by 
participating in the CQ WW WPX Contest.  Most of the time  I was on 
frequency calling CQ trying to capture and type in calls.  It's  one thing to scan 
the frequencies, listen to QSOs to get the station's call  sign correct and 
understand the sequence of numbers they're sending then give  a call with 
confidence.  It's quite something else to be on frequency and  pick out a call 
from mulitiple stations calling along with QRP, mobile and  other weak 
signal stations.

Operated 12 hours in the  contest.  Tried time on four of the bands but 20 
meters with the new wire  beam antenna was most productive.  Had between 400 
and 500 watts output  on 20.  Hope to get the power output up once I 
rebuild additional  portions of the Clipperton-L amplifier.
