Comments:
This was my first try at remote operation in a Sprint and I think the score is
Sprint (1) Remote (0). I screwed up right at the start - I changed all the
Fkeys to send the K4VV location of VA but forgot that the {EXCH} would send MD,
so stuck with sending MD the whole time rather than switch after I realized what
I was sending. The Internet speed/latency was fine but there is just enough
delay that it throws off the timing on jump balls.
Had one major crash of N1MM+/RemoteRig combination early on and never got going
on 20. I left the band early, which seemed like a big mistake once I got on 40
and saw the squeeze between Mexican RTTY and the K1N pileup. At least the QRO
PSK guys seemed to take the night off.
That meant I went to 80 early as well, but 80 was in great shape so it was fun
until the last few minutes when I was just warming up the ether with endless
CQs.
I worked all the mults I heard but there must have been more than 42 out
there...
Fun as always - next one will be a physically present effort, I think.
