SOHP - 375 x 65 = 48,750 - 8 hours
Just moved to new QTH, threw a station together Sat. morning (it
showed) and a 160 Windom up over a couple of trees. CT shows 8 hours but I
spent several hours trying to debug RF problems. And yes, I may have sent
you A power the first time I was on near the beginning. Couldn't keep RF
from locking up the keyer solid and was going to go low power. Ended up
changing computers AND radios and went to high power. I will include a note
to ARRL - so hopefully no one gets zinged for my midstream change.
I was amazed at how well the haphazardly run, barely off the ground,
windom worked up here. (I've got 12 acres on a hilltop.) Didn't get much SS
time in but I'm ready to pour for the first tower this coming Saturday.
73 and I remain, :-)
