Comments:
Originally, I planned 20m SOSB operation. Took day off from the work in friday,
went to contest location, put up the antenna, hook the RIG, had some excellent
DX-ing. Hopes were high, not in terms of placement, but in terms of having fun.
Everything was FB, until 2h before the contest when I got the visit from
unexpected guest. It was Mr. Murphy himself... my beloved IC-746PRO showed
signs of infamous dead TX problem, leaving me with 0 W output power. OUCH!!!
Devastated, I headed for home.
About 16z I got call telephone call from my friend Milos YU2MMA, who wanted
to know how am I doing in test. I told him what happened, and he offered his
station. And there we were... doing M/S via internet. He was at his home, I was
at my home, some 50 km away, but it felt like we are together in the same room.
We took participation in this contest solely for our fun, therefore we pushed
nothing in terms of QSO's and mults. About 80% of QSO's came back to our CQ,
and we did not made a single SSB qso. Since the rules of RDXC prohibit use of
internet remote control, this will be send as checklog.
RIG: FT-450, 100 W
ANT: D4B multiband dipole
