Guest appearances and comic releif provided by Wizzer and K8GoodLuck.
They saw the kind of operation we put on and what the black hole can do
to RF. They had shirts made, "We're not afraid of the Black Hole", and
they were excellent sports about it. They didn't complain once that we
couldn't hear 4X4NJ on 160M at 2pm local!
Wiz had the priviledge of the top hour, 150 on 15M, of which he recorded
all of it on cassette to prove that some RF does indeed make it to the hole.
Wiz also had the priviledge of blowing up several amplifiers. He toasted
the 160M amp. The PI torroid coil arc'ed from input to output and blew
soot all over the place. We wound a new coil, with twice the cross-sectional
area and wider spacing from input to output. Back online in less than 2
hours.
KA9FOX needed to clean his shorts two contests in a row when the 10M amp
exploded again. Fixed this amplifier several times throught the weekend.
In the meanwhile, I put my Swan MkII in-line. That blew up about 3 times
and then was able to still get 500W out. Then it finally gave up the ghost
when the transformer started arcing/welding to its core. We then put in
a never completed 8877 homebrew all-bander (which always had bandswitch
arcing problems). This amplifier was built in 1991 and has never made
a QSO. It worked great for the rest of the contest.
All in all, we had about 4 explosions in less than 2 hours. Exciting!!
160 was tough. No really loud EU, only 30 worked.
80 was great. New antenna's working great. Estatic to have 100 countries.
Good amount of JA's on 20, a few on 15.
No EU on 10 (what's new?), 3DA0NX the only African.
We had a BLAST!!!! (No amplifier pun intended.)
