Lots of fun, but sure not as planned.  This was going to be a full 36 hour
effort.  Then the new FTDX5000 got delivered on Thursday afternoon, and the
plan became to ignore it until Monday.  Sure, right.  So Friday evening was
SO2R with 2X FT1000MP + ACOM2000A's as usual.  By Saturday AM I couldn't
stand it anymore, so I did some rewiring and went SO1R with the new rig and
one ACOM.
That didn't feel so great but I got to learn the rig, so Saturday night I
did some more rewiring and wound up Sunday SO2R with one FT1K and the FT5K
and the two ACOMS.  Half the SO2R functions were disabled and bugs were
galore, but it was fun and challenging.  15 was in great shape.  The 15
antenna here is modest, so having 9M8, BY, E21 etc. call in was better than
the last few years.  Hope this holds.

I was happy to clear 2M points and not burn up any front
ends....

Multiple combos of FT1000MPs, FTDX5000, 2X ACOM 2000A, WRITELOG, wires in
the woods.
