Eric (NM5M) and I operated 15 meters at N5AU during CQWW SSB. We had
two complete stations set up. The first station was a TS-930S and
Alpha 77 (1 x 8877) working into fixed yagis pointing at Europe, Japan
and Carib/SA and a tall rotary yagi. The second station was a TS-930S
and an AL-80 working into a rotary yagi at 60 feet. With the exception
of the Carib/SA antenna (Cushcraft), all 15 meter yagis are of the five
element Telrex variety.
The basic idea is that station #1 calls CQ all weekend, while station #2
dials around finding interesting stuff to work, calling interesting
things out on packet (and feeding KR0Y's single op + packet effort)
and smashing packet pileups.
I'm heading back to Dallas this weekend to operate N5AU in the ARRL
November Sweepstakes (CW). Hope to work you in the event.
