        The 754 Q's is my best ever in 15+ years of SS operation

                  Inveterted vee's for 80 and 40 at 45 feet.

        Club Affliation:  YCCC

        Comments:  Nice to see 15 active for a change.  I have had
        the MP for almost a month.  It performed great.  I just can't
        believe I worked so much on 80 meters.  Most of the time I
        was running when on 80.  The new rig helped reduce a fatigue
        factor that I always had with the ICOM-701. I don't usually 
        operate in the SS phone; however, I will be recovering from
        some surgery so the best seat in the house might be the chair
        in the shack.

        Thanks for all the q's es 73's
