Comments:
Wild weekend with freezing rain, snow, power outages and trees shedding widow
maker limbs around the contest clubhouse.
Andy KE7AUB, thanks to his Audi Quattro made it to the station. We relied on
Hank KR7X and Joe NK7U to fill some hours via the RemoteRig / K3 remote.
SO many Murphy and Mother Nature interruptions and challenges! freezing rain
started Friday a few hours before the contest. A power outage for 5 hours
before the contest got us on late. Then, ice loaded antennas going out of
resonance, ice loaded thrust bearings preventing antenna rotation, constant
power 'blips' lasting 1 to 2 seconds when we did have power causing us to
reconfigure the VPN network, resynchronize logs etc. etc...
In spite of that, we almost matched last year's score with fewer operators, and
finally had to shut down and leave the station as the 100' tall fir tree that
covers the station was dropping immense limbs, literally too dangerous to
continue.
Murphy and Ms. Nature are a wicked pair to draw to, but we had fun.
CU in the ARRL DX CW next weekend
