Comments:
My only goal was to beat last years score, did that handily:
2008 2009
QSOs 112 212
Score 5,712 15,052
No Qs on 15 as my PC screen when bananas when I keyed up on that band, at
any
power setting. Running into a dummy load at 100W was OK, so guess there
must
be some RF getting into it when on the beam. Yet more fun, the fan that
cools
the power supply on my TS-940SAT quit (why is the top of the rig so hot?)
and
had to sit a 4inch muffin fan on top running at a reasonable speed (aren't
Variacs great?) for most of the contest. Lots of good snappy ops out there,
lots of new calls as well.
In retrospect, looking back at my first RU in 1988 using a C64/PK64, pencil
and paper, one really has to admire the progress made by contest/logging
software boffins. My hat goes off to them.
73 to all
