BTW... Looking for reports on how loud we were on the different bands...
especially 80 and 160 meters. I also would be interested in how our signal was
compared to PJ2T. After our visit to PJ2T yesterday both W9RE and N5OT got to
see first hand how badly we were outmanned in the hardware department.
