Soapbox: What a pleasure to be able to operate this contest again using Real
Antennas <tm>. Conditions seemed pretty good from here, although 10m was
terrible. I had a lot of cq-ing in my face from the southern stations. Also
had problems with the 160m dipole not wanting to cooperate <sorry N6NT for
the weird Q>, causing me to stay on 80/40 and probably cost 40-50 Q's.
This was my first foray into 2-radio operating, so naturally I had to use a
brand new radio, the Icom 756. W6OTC asked me to use it in the test since he's
doing some evaluations for Icom. I only had a 250hz second if filter for it,
but it performed VERY well. The dsp is simple and effective. I'll do a
separate note with details.
Thanks to everyone for the Q's and for the great turnout -- I worked guys I
thought had gone into stamp collecting, they have been off the air so long!
New calls were fun, esp. using TR's old call feature.
Special thanks to Ken and Jean for their fine hospitality at Radio Oakley.
See everyone next weekend.
73, Steve K6AW
