Comments:
The Good: A great location with a little elevation near Houghton Lake,
a nice clean place with tall oaks far enough apart on a good sized lot,
and great weather. TNX to Bob Rea for letting me use the place.
A nice 1x1 Special Event callsign comemorating the 50th anniversary of
the Mackinac Bridge (pronounced "Mackinaw") and operating in a moderately
rare county and all the rest of the world looking for Michigan stations
and counties. Backup rig, IC735 Power Supply PS55 is plug compatible
with TS850 DC input socket, (see "The Bad" below). WB8E unexpectedly in
ROSC gave me my mult, (and I, his).
The Bad: Slingshot broke before all antennas were up. Only raised two
antennas out of four, and not as high as planned. Forgot to bring the
Astron SS30M power supply for the TS850. (see above)(due to below)
The Ugly: Last minute car failure meant that instead of leaving home
Fri. at noon and arriving at 3pm, I left at 6 and arrived at 9:30pm.
Lost almost 3 hours of the contest trying to put up antennas on Sat.
