Comments:
Well another phone sweeps is in the books, ultimately one of my favorite outings
of the year. 80M was my money band for this edition with good condx for me.
15, 20, and 40, were all noisy 15 the worst, some of 40 was just wall-to-wall
operators with propagation changing fairly frequently so ops were inadvertently
stepping all over each other. This year I really made use of the RF and audio
gain in concert to help reduce fatigue and bring in some of the more marginal
signals, the K3S rocked and was clearly better than this op. I did get horse,
one of these days I'll get digital voice working... perhaps wait for the K4 to
sort that out.
I did some some flaky SWR behavior in the loop that wasn't there a couple of
weeks ago, so will do some connector checking later this week when the temps go
up!
Anyhow, ran into many old colleagues and missed a few. I need to give thanks to
my xyl, kd0jhx, for letting me play all weekend!
Finally, thanks to all who worked hard to make this happen, and the ops who were
there for the qso's....
Happy Thanksgiving!
73 es God Bless,
