Using the SteppIR at 84 feet. Start on 40. 1500 W, 36 WPM
33 Q @1312Z loud signals, many calling, W4 really loud, layers deep
52 Q @1319Z
1322Z pause , lots of CQing needed
67 Q @1322Z slowing down
82 Q @1330Z
Getting message Radio #1 Flex-6000 Series on COM 7 is not responding. Had to
restart SDR and N1MM Possible conflict between DHCP servers and network in
house. Directly connected Flex to computer after the contest.
94 Q @1337. Few signals on band.
40 meters works!
Band change. Erratic SWR on 20. Seems that radio wants a tuner to the amp,
but SWR OK (After contest found the TX delay was set to ) and changed to 10 ms)
Lots 5 minutes in the band change! Really need an alternate antenna for 40
(like a low dipole) that I can use while the SteppIR is changing. Additionally
could use a low 20 yagi like a 203BA at 30 ft. This would be good for SO2R. Add
automation of switching to the list!
This would have been a really great score once I get the quirks worked out.
