Comments:
Thanks to James, K5FD, for the use of his shack and antennas. I used my
portable rig, an FT-897D, in lieu of my normal FT-1000MPs. I purchased some
additional filters for the FT-897D from Inrad and that helped the rig a lot.
The lack of roofing filters was noticeable, however. Even though I know it is
psychological, the small size of the FT-897D makes me think it can't possibly
work as well as a larger rig! So I am impressed with how well it does work.
It's the same objection I have to SDRs -- in my mind a rig has to have a tuning
knob, not a mouse!
I think this contest is the perfect length. I am tired when it is over, but
get enough sleep to not be totally wiped out, unlike my attempts at operating
48 hours (or as close as I can come to 48 hours).
Thanks again for all the fun!
