Comments:
The noise was at V2. 20 seemed like W/VE always beamed North and 20 was
packed. The noise was 40 over on 160 plus the 250KW BBC relay station across
the street on Sunday night, Rain Storm on Saturday night.
10 was open and the stack at V2 site played very well. The 2 element 80 worked
well but noise got 80 also. Used a MLA2500 with TS-850SAT driver. KD5AAU
attended & cooked the meals during the contest & hit the beach outside the
contest. The TS850 has the 1.8khz IRI filter and you can tell the difference.
CT version 8 with 486 laptop with connections for band data & Kenwood internal
DVP. Had to hand change out band filters between rig/amp each band change due
to BBC interference so could not move multi's well.
