Comments:

Equipment:  FT-2000 with the NS filter, Alpha 76pa, home-brew interface with 

N1MM/MMTTY.  Antenna is an all attic stealth arrangement that covers 160m-6m 

through a series of mostly monoband yagis of various types. 

Worked on improving my SO2V operation.  2nd contest running trails with the

Microham MK2 interface - the more I am able to use that unit, the more

impressed I am with it's refinement.

The FT-2000 modified 2nd RX (audio filter tweaks and roofing filter

replacement) is really proving to be a great S&P tool.  The passband of the 300

hz Collins works out just perfect for this application.

80m op time was limited due to the loop being offline - with the beginning of

the spring thunderstorms, it was really missed.
