Remarks: Thanks to Will, AA4NC, for the use of his station.
Will was out of town, so Murphy took the opportunity to strike. I had
problems getting Will's new computer to key the rigs, and I had problems
with the mixer board that provides the audio for each rig. I finally
drove back home and got my ThinkPad and used it for logging and keying
the rigs. Because of all the problems, I didn't get started until =
1930Z.
But even with all of the problems, I'm very disappointed in my score.
I should have done much better from this station. During the test, I
thought maybe it was just conditions, but when I saw all of the great
scores posted on the 'Net, I realized that I really stunk again. I =
guess
that I'm still not a really good CW contester. As WB5VZL says about
himself, maybe someday I'll learn the code and learn what it takes to do
really well in a CW test.
As always it was fun.=20
