Remarks: Thanks to all who were kind enough to work me. Appreciate all the
contacts and QTCs. Also, thanks to the contest committee.
Activity was good and the bands were cooperative. Eighty meters was noisy on
Saturday night (local time) caused by storms in the Midwest USA.
Couple of equipment problems were experienced. One occurred in the first hour
as the power out and the drive from the radio to amp. was not as usual. Found
the soundcard output plug had moved out slightly (probably kicked out by the
opr. - need smaller shoes or maybe operate only in my socks) and not making good
contact. Apologies go to all who I tried to work in the first hour as the
signal must have sounded awful. That was the only hardware problem.
A software problem occurred in RITTY late Sat. (local time). The RITTY tuning
indicator was not tracking the received signal. Also, the cursor would not
activate the RITTY bandwidth. Had to restart the computer to get it working.
Again, thanks to the folks who participated and to the contest committee. Look
for you in the next one.
