Comments:
This was a Multi-operator, Single-transmitter operation with three ops
remote from the fabulous mountaintop station on Mount Umunhum.
K6UFO had this crazy idea to set a M/S Record for the USA, and
maybe we did it. K6TD likes digital operating, and was a wizard at
getting our remote connections and logging working to the mountaintop
station - with VPNs, internet logbooks, TeamViewer, etc... ND2T is a
lively optimist and able to keep us moving forward, finding and solving
problems, getting us in practice, and pulling together.
Everyone had operated FT8/4 before, and was familiar with the
Writelog/Digirite software. Everyone was an experienced contest
operator, and knew how to keep butt-in-chair, monitor the rate, and
pounce on Mults. No major mistakes were made. Without an SO2R-
capable station, we could only operate one-band, one-cycle so we
tried to keep busy every transmit cycle, and queue up our next target
while receiving. Our average rate was 25, our best hour was a 47,
our worst was a 6. But the worst arrived late in the contest when
K6TD first switched to 80M at 3AM, called CQ, and ZL3TE called,
and was worked without any repeats - two overs! Then the internet
failed. Cloudflare blames CenturyLink, etc... but the internet was
terrible right through to the end of contest.
20m was the best band all day long, and we spent 11 hours there.
ND2T spent an hour to pull the easy Qs and Mults from 15m, but
not worth more time. 40m was second best band and delivered for
over seven hours. 80m was difficult, but needed at the start and finish,
and a good run at 05Z. We never bothered with 160m, nor 10m.
