Comments:
I want to apologize to all who were calling when RF got into my DSL modem and I
had N1MM set to auto CQ. I was running remotely from my nice warm office in
Rochester, NY, and the modem disconnected me from the internet and I could not
get the connection back on for a few minutes. Yes, there was a big pile-up when
I got it fixed, maybe because it was for NNY? hihi. For some reaon, running 100
watts was getting into the modem. I ended up lowering my power to 25 watts, and
that would not interfere with the modem. Running only 25 watts in this contest
is a big challenge, but we had fun anyway. I was totally surprised that I
worked every station that I called, some were weak and took some time to get
thru, but I guess having fun is what it is all about. I had to call the
neighbor once, before I got it all straightened out, as I was totally
disconnected from the internet and the computer went down. Had to have the
neighbor go over and turn off the main power, wait 15 seconds and turn it back
on again. It's a good thing I have the computer bios set to turn it back on
when it loses power. hihi. Anyway, more DTMF tones and relays are needed to get
this thing back on line properly. Thanks to all who worked me, and I had a lot
of "finally NNY", especially from NN2L who is in NNY. hihi. Contesting is FUN,
FUN, and sometimes a real challenge. 73 de Paul K2DB
