This all started last summer in Brazil during WRTC.
I invited Doug K1DG to join our group for ARRL DX CW and he suggested using the
weird call EE5E; credit (and/or blame) goes to him
Had a GREAT time,
- being helped by Juan FID and Tony BY with antenna repairs
- stringing the 160m inv L over the neighbours house
- laying the radials across the street
- learning what a big difference extra radials make on the inv L (wkd to
SD,CA)
- learning how its input impedance decreases !!!
- designing a coax matching stub on the fly (worked great!!!)
- repairing the ACOM during the contest
- reducing interstation interference
- comparing signal strength (in the US) vs competitors thru the Internet with a
Web receiver (on the low hours, hi!)
- contesting together with Doug almost 20 years after meeting him
- learning how a great op like him manages a contest operation
- monitoring progress compared to 2006 and competitors
...
...
some odds
- clicky signals
- Amplitude Modulation (100,200,300,400 Hz) of CW carrier on several EUs
(subcarriers as actual "anti-QRM protective barriers"!!!)
- extremely poor condx on the high bands (even 20m)
in summary
spending a great weekend with friends enjoying our hobby
Looking forward to ARRL CW 2008
73,
Juan EA5RS
