Comments:
This operation almost did not happen, but I did promise to go activate NA-140.
So, I was able to operate for about 3 hours (plus a 5-hour round-trip drive and
setup). CQing on 20m the whole time was not a winning strategy, but I hope many
of you were able to work a new IOTA or multiplier.
Setup:
K3/100 at 50 watts output.
"GU Special" reconfigurable monoband vertical about 2-3m from salt
water.
TR4W software running on 13-inch MacBook Pro under Windows XP
100% battery power.
I had some line noise about S3, the wind and motorboats made copy difficult in
some of the pileups. There also seemed to be some slow QSB---pileups would
appear and disappear with some periodicity.
NA-140 is very easy to reach from my QTH so I intend to return.
Thanks for the QSOs and 73,
--Ethan, K8GU/3.
