Comments: What a blast! New 10/15M antenna really paid off. Broke the
existing N2BA record - not sure if anyone else did, though! Very few JA
runs to speak of. But surprised to be able to run EU even on 40.
Looks   like about 800 band changes and 600 2nd radio Qs +/-.

Only negative is the advent of DSS and digital cable - it appears as
though there are A LOT of devices out there being installed with these  that
essentially use the wiring in your house to put a phone jack where      one
does not exist. They modulate an FM signal at 3.52 MHz +/- for pay per
view, etc. in the internal modems. The result: From 3515-3545 I have 20
over 9 trash coming from various directions. Probably cost me some
mults on 80. 

        73,
