Well, I got on for a few hours...
Still having intermittent RFI in the computer in spite of every line being
heavily choked and switching to a Logitech IR keyboard... So, to those who
worked me and are sure that I was
1. Drunk <not>
2. stoopid <hope not>
3.too incompetent to be licensed <jury is still out on that one>
I was fighting with the computer's, stuttering, freezing up in the middle of a
Q, scrambling the call sign when logging it, switching between S&P and RUN in
the middle of a Q <which kinda throws you off>, jumping the radio to a new band
<jeez>, and outright crashing <twice>... What is really frustrating is that i
was an early adopter of computer logging, even writing my own logging program
for the Apple II in the early 80's, and never had RFI that I could not solve
within minutes... Now, I am suddenly, absolutely plagued with intermittent,
severe, RFI that is resistant to every trick I know...
Anyway, I quit at 0300Z from fatigue <up for 24 hours> with some 200 Q's in the
log (and a few I lost (sorry K5ZD - pull me from your log or give me the time
of the Q so I can re-insert it))... What I did accomplish was to field test
<and prove> a new 160 antenna array, one that I am happy with...
