Comments:
Thanks to Susan and Richard for letting me play radio from their
farm once again. This is the third single operator contest
I've done from the K5NA-K5DU super station.
We thought everything was working great this time except the
microHAM MK2R+, which is still not routing microphone audio consistently
to the left radio. So, on the left radio, Richard set up a desk
microphone, and all of my second radio contacts were made using that
microphone. On Sunday morning, I thought the left radio wasn't
hearing much, but I had good SWR on transmit. After the contest,
Richard did some A/B testing between the two radios and determined
that the left radio receiver was 50 dB to 60 dB down from the right
radio. It was probably like that all contest. Surprisingly (or maybe
not, given the magic soil on that farm) I worked two Europeans on 160
meters with that radio.
The operator wasn't the sharpest this weekend, either. I was tired
from a long work week when the contest started. I wasn't as productive
as I should have been on 40 meters. And among other problems, I
decided to take a 30 minute off time on Saturday night. Oops.
