Mike,

Nice to work you Friday night.   You were pretty much covered up by a 
wall of Europeans, and it was like trying to pull you through a keyhole 
with tweezers.


I think you explained your mic situation, but hard to copy that part.  I 
heard enough of your voice to know that  you sounded the same as before. 
   Your recent post about the new mic problems explains that.

I really didn't get into this one and only have a handful in the log. 
The total bedlam makes it far from my favorite contest.

After working you, I jumped down to 160 to see if anything interesting 
was on.    I managed to work CN2AA in Morocco for a new 160 country, so 
  the weekend wasn't a total bust.

Congrats on the nice effort, hope you place well, Steve KW3A

Wanna thank you Steve KW3a for stopping by and giving me a couple of points. Dunno if you could hear but I wasn't on the new mic, was on the heil pro micro duel.
