[RTTY] W0MA RTTY Roundup

[Joe <k0bx@qsl.net>]

Just in case anyone was wondering where K0BX was!  BTW I did make 8 
80-meter QSO's at home on Saturday night with my K0BX call.  Just to 
make sure I kept my "worked all RR going".  Yes since the beginning.

Comments:

1st time using the club station, W0MA, for the rtty roundup. No body 
knew the
callsign. AB0RX and I (K0BX) decided to to the MSHP. After all, no worries
about TVI or xyl's. Station on company property.
Main rig: IC-775DSP and Henry 4K Amp @ a hair under 1500 Watts
2nd rig: IC-756 and Ameritron AL-82 (2 3-500Z) @ 1100 Watts
Antenna: ForceTwelve 5 on 10/3 on 15 & 20 and 2 on 40 on a 39 foot boom.
Wire Antenna 40/80 on roof of 3 story building.
Shack: Communications trailer. Box within a Box for RF shielding.
Tower: US HD 72' w/motor
The Henry 4K would not load on 10/15 so we used the 2nd station for it. Both
computers networked so log were always in Sync.
Our goal was 1000 Q's, we made 1007 but after dupes it was 997.
Highlight: Having HS1PDY call us on 20 meters Sunday Morning and then 
spotting
us on the DX Cluster.
Lowlight: Rain storm from 7 am to 1 pm on Sunday with heavy rain static.
Making the morning copy very poor. It rain so hard we could not hear the 
rtty
tones in the speaker for the noise on the trailer roof.

Good time was had by all.

K0BX Joe for W0MA
