NOTES:

Some TVI due to the close proximity of the Force 12 Vertical to the neighbors house caused some problems.
Also the use of the SpeachMaster Voice Keyer caused some problems with an apparent AC Hum.  Not sure,
but we looked at the MIC line adjustment and determined that solved the problem.  WN9O was not at the
QTH the second night and W9IU called it quits a little after midnight.

Looking forward to next weekend!!  ARRL DX SSB Contest
