Comments:
This year it was about new hamshack setup, Mr. Murphy and bad conditions.
I have started to rebuild my HAMshack to SO2R, so this was the first contest
with a few new microHAM and OM Power toys. Mr. Murphy knew, that it's his cup of
coffee, fortunately, I was able still be back in the air in few minutes:
- rotator position sensor is dead (not necessary on 160),
- StationMaster 1 died in the first hour (I had second one),
- StationMaster 2 died on Saturday morning (coaxes reconnecting solved it),
- keyboard dead on Saturdy evening (I have 2 spare ones)...
So... next project is solving of RF interferences.
I don't have inband HW, so I run with "semi SO2V" to have some
experiences with stereo receiving: VFO A (run) to the left and VFO B (S&P)
to the right ears, and 2 keyboards. Sometimes of big confusion, hi. Sorry to
those, who was attacked by my signal in the case of unwanted switching of TX to
improper VFO... I receive almost full time on K9AY antenna, so splatters and
extremely wide signals was so-so acceptable.
Conditions: I will copy all others - bad Saturday morning (no NA, few AS and
AF), bit better second night and struggle for every QSO on Sunday evening.
See you in next contests!
