Well, guys...this effort was like the gang that couldn't shoot straight.

Drove in from Ohio and arrived really late Thursday night...didn't get to
 The Land to set up until shortly before 0000Z...and my heart really wasn't
 in it.  That 20 hour drive wears an OG out.

Apparently, the microHam Digikeyer II crapped out and even though
 I was hearing good tones in the 'phones from the K3...but I was
transmitting  garbage.  So gave up on Friday night after I figured that out.

Got back to The Land on Saturday morning late...with my Flex 6600M
 and got it working (after a fashion) from memory and a little help from
 the FlexRadio Community.  Had some Saturday evening commitments
 and got back on Sunday...all was well...then the Flex stopped sending
 tones.

Took a while to figure out that somehow the Digital Audio Interface (DAX) on
 the Flex got turned off.  Probably pilot error.

When I had things under control...the station worked extremely well.  JAs
and a 5W on 15 and 10 and some really good EU runs Sunday afternoon.

Next year!!
