Comments:
I operated the first 2 hours then spent the next 2.5 hours making preparations
fot the installation of a replacement side door in my garage. Not the best
operating strategy to say the least but how often can one count on shirt sleeve
wWX in January? Naturally the replacement door is taller than the original and
the trim is wider. Fortunately I did have about 1/4 inch clearance to work
with.
I KNOW, call CQ more or get set up for SO2R. Hey, I'm a 'multiplier' oriented
guy. Thanks for the QSY's. It didn't take long to figure out that 'go to'
freq's needed to be well out of range from contest activity!
QRN on 80M was 'intense' for a while from an approaching storm yet my best rate
(and best hour) was on 80M. 160M was a real treat. Picked up 8 mults in the
last 30 minutes and heard VE6 just AFTER the closing bell.
The more I use my Icom 746PRO, the better I like it, especially having the
ability to set up 3 different filter bandwidths for each mode without shelling
out $150 a pop for crystal filters. I must admit that the original 746 does
sound 'cleaner' on CW and the audio peak filter is a nice feature that I miss
on the DSP radio.
