Comments:
I don't know why but I never seem to do a full time operation in this contest.
The rates were good, the interference reduced due to the required low power
operation, and the 10 hour operating time 'doable'. Anyway, I had decided
after the EA RTTY contest that the way I had the radios arranged on my desk was
wrong, and that I could 'improve' it. This meant that every carefully labelled
cable was now wrong, that things wouldn't reach or fit. While I do think the
new way will end up being better, there are some new potential ground loop and
inter radio interference gremlins to chase away. Never did get the 3rd radio
setup but really with no 10M not much need for it.
Heard a couple of stations on 10, who didn't hear me. Only worked a couple DMC
participants who would not give me a name for this contest. Still would be nice
to only have one contest at a time.
