Comments:
WORST CONDX EVER! Had a few great runs none-the-less, but too much like work
most of the time. Experienced fast QSB a few times where I copied the first
half of a call and the second half faded away. Lots of puny weak signals,
perfectly readable sometimes followed by a booming signal that killed my ears.
I started thinking why don't they have a clipper in these radios?
Had a few problems with N1MM logger... I wish someone would publish N1MM for
Dummies! Normally I could hit F1 and it would put me in RUN and call CQ; not
this time. I had to hit Alt U to switch from S&P to RUN. It seemed like
all of a sudden the characters in the CHECK box got bigger. Even before that
happened,I only saw a few calls in the check box...never the whole universe of
possibilities. I thought I had more zones than ever on 40 until I realized the
zone map didn't show zones not worked on any band. I want to see all the
zones...not just those "expected". I know there must be a way.
Sometimes I would hit Enter to start sending the exchange while still typing,
but it didn't send the whole call even though I had it already entered.
I had to go so high in the bands to find a hole I was afraid I'd get a
nosebleed! hi Sometimes I had to move because of phone QRM.
With a goal of 2M and an hour left to operate, I quit early Sunday afternoon
planning to get on 40 at sundown and get a good run going. The good run never
happened and I missed my goal when I ran out of time. I operated exactly 24
hours MM time.
I must have been getting tired when I caught myself pushing the button on the
Keurig to call CQ! JACK W1WEF
