Comments:
A bit slow contest this year due to so so propagation:
10m never really opened, 80m was poor, and 20m was never great.
40m came alive during the last hr of the contest.
Less participation probably due to the war.
Running Flex 6600, Expert 1.3k, JK Mid Tri 40 at 100', JK Mid Tri at 60,
4sq on 80. Also 7 beverages.
It all ran fine except that the radio was getting stuck in transmit a few times.
Not sure a Flex or N1MM problem.
I tried CW DECODER to help with calls/numbers, and it did pretty well. But it
was a resource hog, using 45% of CPU, and that was messing up the CW Skimmer.
I hoped to run SO2R and bought PG XL amp, TG XL tuner, 4O3A 8x2 switch,
triplexer and bandpass filters. But the 8x2 switch only shipped last Friday.
Since my Expert was making only 1.2 KW, I tried PG XL hoping for 1.5KW+. But it
made a max of 1.2KW and after a minute it sounded like a jet.
