Comments:
K6SU was my Saturday operation sharing the W6YX
station location and antennas with the W6YX Multi-op
(I had my own radio, amp, and computer.) My
connection to the big 20m yagi wasn't working,
but that was nothing compared to the problems W6YX
had when their radio stopped receiving. I kept my
operation going while they tried to fix things and
eventually swapped in a different radio. I couldn't
get my rate up as high as I'd like, runs seemed
pretty short, had to change frequencies often to
avoid qrm. I started on 15m for an hour, then spent
a little over 3 hrs on 20m, a quick run up to 80m,
then 40m and 80m for the rest of the evening. I
stopped just after midnight as the rate was falling,
I had made my target of 500 Qs, I wanted to save
energy for my second operation on Sunday, and still
had to swap radios and setup for the Sunday HMO op
by N7MH. The first 70 mults all came to me, or were
easily found as I tuned looking for a clear CQ
frequency. I then jumped to spots for the last few
mults, but if there was an NL on Saturday he didn't
call me, and in the evening I never saw a spot to
chase him, so I ended at 79 mults (just fine).
