Just a token appearance in this one. The weekend was filled with chores,
church, the Red Wings, and the Lions. I operated SO2R with out any problems.
It is easy when the second radio isn't hearing much! My 40 meter beam at 80
feet is broken. The bucket truck to reach 80 feet has been broken for 10
months! The owner says it will cost $6,000 to repair it. Not worth it I guess
for just a few jobs a year. I used a Carolina Windom at 30 feet. Not much DX
with that antenna. It also caused TVI on the Tivo. The XYL complained for the
first time ever. The 40 beam at 80 feet never caused a problem. I have to do
something for 40 before the next contest.
The 15 meter antenna didn't hear much at my location. Sunday was dead.
The money band was 20 meters. Nice to work a few JAs Sunday evening. Worked
one JA through the PACTOR.
Got a new one on RTTY: J88DR
Rigs: FT1000MP and Alpha 99
FT-990 and SB-220
Software: N1MM and MMVARI
Antennas: Hygain 502BA at 72 feet
Carolina Windom
A3S at 40 feet
