Comments:
Rig: 1 - 1000MP (100W)
Antennas:
40m/20m "shorty" G5RV as inverted-V apex @ 25' hung in a tree
80m broadband dipole as inverted-V apex @ 20' hung just below the G5RV
Old DOS cpu running NA. Voice-keyer (not cpu controlled). Tuner req for G5RV.
Operation was portable (field day style). It only took 15 minutes to break
down the entire station and load it into my vehicle after the event.
Found a new source of broadband noise... two neighbors fired up rototillers at
1PM local time. The noise on the bands went from S2 to 20 over S9 on all three
bands I had (80m,40m,20m). They didn't quit until nearly 6PM. The NB in the MP
helped but it really impacted my ability to hear. I was praying for the rain
that was forecast to hit (I figured you can't till in the rain, right?) but it
never did.
Thanks to all who participated. A big thanks to those who changed modes for
me. I had a good time!
