Was rocking until got a call from 2 neighbors ( One with Telephone interference 
& the other with TVI and radio interference ).  So beginning Sunday Morning I 
was back to 100 watts from K3!
The interference is why I usually am LP in contests.  I just pushed my luck on 
this one.  Wonder if there is a class for 50% LP & 50% HP?? HI HI.  The 
neighbor with Radio & TV interference is not on cable and loves his old tube 
type radio!!

I could not get this old body out of bed for sunrise either morning and was in 
bed by 1:30 am both nights.  However, the big surprise was working JAs, KH2 + 
JT1CO in full daylight on 40 meters. When AMP was on I had a great run on EU 20 
meters.  Had many calls from stations running 25 & 50 watts and a few QRP.

All & All much Fun!
