Comments:
Need to double-check score..may have one or two more mults and a couple more
Qs.
First serious time in NAQP. Had fun, despite the severe QRN. Tnx K1EA for
letting me use his station while I'm still working on mine (even though I used
TRLog). :-)
Highlights:
- Working N2NC in NJ on a bunch of bands with his 80m dipole (including 10/15m)
- Working California on 80m, never thought that would be a highlight. (tnx
K6NA! Good ears.)
- Used TRLog for the first time...that was fun. First time I ever used a
logging program besides CT in a contest. Need to learn TRLog better long
before the contest (not in the hour before).
- Lots of good ops showed up
- SO2R rocks ; WX0B box is pretty nice, gotta get one. First time doing SO2R
since my last SOAB in CQWW (1995).
Lowlights:
- 80/160 (QRN) wouldn't it be great if noice cancelling headsets could cancel
thunderstorm QRN?
- Maybe it's my lack of a proper setup, but TRLog kept QSYing my log to 10GHz
when I spun the VFO too fast (dead serious). Now that's predictive
programming!
- Inability to get DVP cabling set up in time with WX0B box. Next time.
