Hi Tom,

Hope the XYL is ok.  The contest is the ARI DX contest.   It's the 
Italian radio  society (or whatever they call it), so there are a bunch 
of Italian stations on.   It's 12 hours  1200 utc to 1200 utc.   If you 
work an Italian, he will give you a 2 letter province abbreviation. 
Others give S/n.

I've been tinkering with the 480 and SS amp and haven't played any 
contest  this weekend.   I checked 40 for the roundtable, but Indiana 
and New England QP's  put an end to that.
