We used an AMPLIFIER for the first time ever!
Steve K0OU went to play radio in Arkansas so he let us use his TL-922A. It
worked very well and did not cause much interference on our television until
early Sunday morning. I thought we were in the clear until my neighbor came
over complaining about some sort of Morse code sound changing his color to black
and white. I do not know what happened on Sunday morning but our own Television
was taking the worse pounding ever.
We never really got serious about this contest after working seriously on the
Sweepstakes this month. How much contesting can a person take? Besides, it is
hard being serious with a tri-bander at 40 feet located in the middle of the
United States. We had fun working all that DX! I had fun just playing ham
radio with my 14 year old daughter. She is getting pretty good at this CW
stuff.
