Comments:
Not much time for this contest. Didn't get on until Saturday evening for a
few minutes. Sporadic operation between cycling, eating and shopping on
Sunday.
Used ICOM 706 with SSB filter for first 95% of the contest. During the
opening between the West Coast and the East Coast on Sunday, the mini
pileup and band congestion got to the point that I finally went QRT and
installed the 250 Hz CW filter. What a difference! Went to lunch, and when
I returned all I heard were 6s. Oh well.
Using the 706 reminded me that there really is a difference between
transceivers like the 706 and transceivers like the FT-1000.
