Comments:
When I saw the weekend WX forecast on Friday morning, I realized I probably
wouldn't be going to N2RM for this sprint.
Spent the rest of Friday getting my 80m dipole back up in the trees and figuring
out how to get a temporary 240V ac run downstairs to my shack. I was pleasantly
surprised when my old SB-220 fired up with no problems. I don't think it has
been turned on in 5+ years. Kept the power down around 700-800 W so as to not
stress my RG-58 too much.
I've been spoiled guest operating this thing for so long. I have new respect
for those that regularly operate sprints from second tier stations. It is
really frustrating to lose out in all those mini-pileups.
Got woken up by my computer UPS beeping from a power outage at 4:30 AM. Power
restored in about an hour. Out again around 8 AM for another hour. We'll see
how the rest of the day goes.
I also see my 80m dipole didn't survive the wind and snow last night. At least
is stayed up until the end of the sprint.
