Only put 15 in the log using the TS-2000.  Since it's the backup rig, I 
didn't bother to connect anything for CW, so all were on SSB.   No 6 
meter antenna here, so when I heard a band opening  I loaded my 
160/80/40 meter dipole and worked a few from upstate NY to AL, and GA, 
including my friend Paul N4PN in Macon.

Antenna for 2 meters is a 5 element LPDA in the attic, so it's not in 
the clear, and since it's a ranch house, not very high.  I did manage to 
work CT, MD, NJ, and NY on 2 meter SSB.

Maybe before the next VHF contest, I can get that thing out of the attic 
and up in the air where it belongs.
