[PVRCNC] SSB Sprint - N1LN (PAINFUL)

[Jim Jordan, K4QPL]

Agree! Haven't even exported my log and didn't count mults. I hit a few on 
20 until 0030,  ate dinner, made a couple on 40, went back to my book on the 
history of the Panama Canal, and played a few more minutes on 75 after 0300. 
Pulled the switch after QSO #50 and figured I'd had about as much SSB fun as 
I could handle for one weekend! Thanks for the Q's.

3600-3750 pretty much empty. It would also make my 80M antenna cut for CW 
load a lot better.

73,

Jim
