Comments:
Nice pace. I find most of the fills I need are with pile-ups and calls while I'm
transmitting. That's OK I guess. Often miss the first character or two when I'm
hearing through through the QSK. I noticed my mind wandering more quickly today
and had less errors as a result.
The SteppIR had been giving me problems since the snowstorm on 40M presumably
from ice in the tubes. When I was testing late yesterday afternoon it went away
and I did some additional tuning while experimenting and now it is better than
ever. I might even hook up the transceiver control soon. The thing always
worries me. It's always a chunk of change if I have to get someone to climb it -
and the immediate supervisor won't let me do it myself. Last winter I lost 20-6
M every time the temperature got below minus 10C, which is often enough in
January/February. I think that is fixed now from the last maintenance but I
won't know for sure until the temp gets that low. It's a balmy -5C here this
morning.
73, Thanks for the calls.
