All,
Band conditions up here have been horrible outside of the Aurora opening. Even
the big guys are hard to work. Throughout the contest making contacts was like
pulling teeth. I ended up with 32 contacts in the contest log this year. Not
too good but at least I got some.
In any event, I will be operating on and off through Wednesday probably. I will
be taking off Friday so my packing will be wednesday evening through thursday.
I am trying to get my voice keyer going. I have it set up but with the RFI I am
getting it is not working real well. I need to come up with a solution to the
RFI. I have type 43 ferrite cores on all the cables and the rigblaster and rig
grounded together with a copper wire, still no luck. The voice keying would
make getting contacts 100 times easier. Without a signal on the band no one can
hear me, and I need to talk in to the mic to do that right now. The computer
will ease up the ability to make contacts a ton.
