Here are my results for the weekend.  20 meters was the best band, some work on 15 band was not that good.  40 meters is useless for me on RTTY because RF from the dipole kills the FSK, AFSK not possible with the new radio because I had to change from the serial port to a USB port for radio control and for the programming software to work.  I was able to "fudge" a few QRP, (<20 watt), contacts.  Without major changes to the N1MM setup going from SO2R back to SO1R and multiple configuration, use of the 857D is not possible for Digital.  Where N1MM will handle two radios for CW or SB it will not because N1MM can only have one configuration.   I worked this contest like I have before, search and pounce only on multipliers.  As you can see by the summary I maximized my score for the contacts that I made.  I lost a few hours visiting up at the Club Saturday morning.

Next up ARRL DX CW next weekend.  As usually the "plan"" of attack usually develops once I get into the contest depending on how I'm doing.
