Doug:
Thank you for your very kind comments; the pleasure was all mine!
My station consists of an Icom IC-735, running about 25 - 35 watts to
an indoor parallel dipole for 20 and 10 meters. I also have a dipole
with an automatic antenna tuner on my balcony, it's for 10-meters
only and the dipole legs are in the right-side-up "V" or "rabbit ears"
configuration. I was operating using the Mix-W digital mode software
running on a 350 MHz Windows 98 computer and using a K4ABT
sound card interface. I also operate RTTY and PACTOR using a
Kantronics KAM-Plus multi-mode TNC. In almost ten years living in
this apartment, I've made over 1500 QSO's using this setup, exclusively
on CW and digital modes. I also operate FM voice and packet on
2-meters and 70 cm.
If any of your friends need Delaware confirmed on RTTY, PSK31,
PACTOR, or CW, I'd be pleased to help if I can! Have them E-mail
me. I've given out a great many "last contacts" for WAS to people
needing Delaware in digital modes and CW. I wish I could get
the same kind of help with Hawaii, North Dakota, and just about
all of New England! The system I use for giving out last contacts
is this: you call me long distance (I'll give out my phone number
in an E-mail) and we make the QSO right then and there, if
propagation permits. Once we have a good two way contact,
you send me a QSL with SASE and you've got it! I don't even try
to do "scheduled" QSO's because I invariably fail to make contact
due to our timing being off or something.
Thanks again, and hope you did well in the contest. I only made
26 contacts (total) on 40, 20, and 10 meters! I still sent in my log,
so someone will get a laugh out of it!
I wish you and your family a very Happy New Year!
