Casual all S&P this time, with some other stuff going on during the weekend.
Fun to work PJ2T on 6 bands, and QSO friend T31MY (I met Jan and Mike 3
years ago in ZF just after the start of their yachting adventures). I worked
to the top of 15 with 2 minutes left in the test, QSYed to 10, logged a JA
and it came up as a new mult! Gotta check those mult lists more often.

Worst moment was waking up Sunday morning and scanning 160 quickly - no
action. Suddenly heard a loud cw signal.....  "CQ DE DU9/N0NM UP 1"  I
gulped, quickly hit SPLIT and tuned the B VFO, keyed... nothing.... LSB mode
#*@(#..... retuned, called....... nada.  I emailed him and he figures I
heard his last call of the morning -- he'd decided everyone was contesting.
Still need that one. Have you read his 2 articles on the ARRL Web Extra? On
bamboo tower, and running his first RTTY contest. Very fun articles.
