Comments:
I finished my SO2R setup for SSB 6 minutes before the start of the contest, and
used the NAQP to check it out. I made only 10 or so Q's with the second radio,
and per my guess, it will take alot of practice to get comfortable with the
balance of the system between the ears. I mean the matter between the ears will
have to balance the system.............SO2R ain't easy! I felt all was going
well past the midpoint in the contest, had a great run on 40m, but then things
got real slow. Took my breaks at that point, and was able to operate to the end,
that may have been a mistake. The last hour was slow, it seemed most everyone
was gone, 40m was an empty parking lot. I forgot to change the east-west 80m
bobtail from CW tune to SSB tune, so had an antenna pointed at Greenland and the
80m score shows it. I felt like a fly on the wall, I could hear really well, but
nobody knew I was there. Again, great operators on all the bands, and I was
surprised to hear so many YL's and young folks calling in, very refreshing!
See you all next time.......Brad
