Tried 2 radios- yea right. Got off to a good start, then it got slow-
All west coast on 20,
lots of SSB on 40- hard to find a hole with QRM, much less tune RTTY.
Cant figure out why v4.4 gave me 5 zero point qso's- they
looked good to me, and I fixed them- Anyone else have this problem?
Seeing numbers like 66 at 0230Z makes one dive for a cold beer and
exclaim- )*&^^%#@ (means "oh well, maybe next time.") So I did.
Biggest problem was getting a qso after S+Ping a contact. I would often
call cq after that with no takers- I'd end up moving to look for another
station to work.
Enjoyed it-
