I thought I was going to do a serious SOAB(A) effort, but that changed
when my wife made one of my favorite dinners on Friday night. I had to
take a long break, and after returning to the contest, I just couldn't
get serious. I had a great time mostly searching and pouncing. I did
try four short runs of about 40 Qs each, but I made no serious effort
to build the QSO count.
My Henry 2KD-5 had a problem at about an hour into the contest. I noticed
the normal 1300-1400 Watts had dropped to about 1000 Watts. In looking at
the tubes there was an obvious problem. One was bright and the other was
pretty dim. It seemed to working pretty well at the 1000 Watt level, so it
lasted that way until I decided to work 160m late Saturday night. I then
changed to the old reliable Ameritron AL-1200.
Thanks to all for the enjoyable time. Maybe next year, I'll try to get
serious. Hi Hi
