432 RX was dead right out of the gate.  Blown preamp and apparently 
other issues up on the tower with relay switching so I was not able to 
get that working.   I managed one 446 FM QSO with N9ISN.  Midway through 
the day on Saturday I lost the 2M preamp, so I was TXing with the 17 
element at 80 feet and RXing with the EME array (4 x 18 elements) at 20 
feet.  That actually worked "OK", other than for the tropo which I 
pretty much missed.

On the bright side I *finally* figured out the 222 issues and that band 
worked really well for a change.

I didn't do too much operating on Sunday - most of the afternoon the 
bands were pretty dead.

So, I guess this fall I have some more things to resolve.  Hopefully 
everything will be up and running well in January.

Charlie, N0AKC
