Comments:
Casual M/S effort from KG4NEP. The station is set up annually for a full effort
in CQWW, but we decided to put in an effort in WPX as well. Don Edwards, WS4NC,
was kind enough to lend his rare call, and we got help operating from our WW
crowd, albeit with fewer people giving their whole weekend.
Other than a few loglights (water in coax on 40m beam, mult amp giving up the
ghost, requiring replacement) the contest went well. Maybe with a few more ops
for the whole weekend, we'll be able to actually place.
Equipment:
Rigs-2x TS850, TS820 for spotting
Amps-2x SB220 SB221 (that failed, I'm glad we had another)
