Let's see...an operator fighting a health-battle--and winning it--but not nearly
100 percent again yet. Operating from an unfinished room, temporary setup,
with unfamiliar rigs. Who hasn't done any serious contesting in over a year.
No rotators, no antenna switching, no low-band RX antennas. Not a
prescritpion for success (great for excuses, though).
But...Chuck called Friday afternoon and asked if I wanted to try it anyway.
Impossible! Too late! Forget it! OK, WTH--see you tomorrow...
Folks who called on 160 may have noticed...that I couldn't HEAR them. It
sounded like a band...but it wasn't. After the contest, we discovered that it
was the radio itself (one of his new K3's) on that band.
I heard a grand total of 5 signals on the band and worked 4 of them. Apologies
to all callers. And, yes, we're looking into that rig. But, those lost Q's and
mults...can't get 'em back now. Not the finish I had in mind...
Chuck's new shack sould be finished next week, and we'll start assembling a
real station, with several improvements. My CLL treatments are going well and
I should be back to full-strength in a couple of months (Doc predicts full--and
lasting-- remission). Chuck's XYL now back from recent hospitalization and on
the mend. Most of the antennas are fixed from ice-damage last spring and
working again. So, while all the arrows are pointing up...they were still
kind-of sideways this time! That's OK, it was great to be back on!
See you this fall...
