Total trouble this week - a really banged-up ending to the Ladder!
There were four guys at the club station setting up for RTTY
this weekend. Then, they did the RTTY practice at 0200Z.
When I grabbed one station at 02:25Z to switch over to NS
I found I had to switch the cables and com ports, reboot, and
change some other settings. I finally made my first QSO at
four minutes in. Four minutes at the start of NS is a L-o-n-g
time to miss! After that I felt like I was always trying to
catch up with the crowd which was a band or two ahead of me.
Also, most antennas were pointed at Europe where the RTTY
practice guys were still practicing, so maybe I was loud in
Montana, but not on the East Coast.
I copied the log onto a USB stick, and figured I'd do the
report later at home. At home, I find the NCCC Sprint Module is
not working, and I had to reinstall and export/import the log to
see the QSOs, and even then it wasn't counting Multipliers.
After a couple tries - I gave up and totaled them up by hand.
Congratulations to K7SS on his great QRP score. Maybe someday
I can keep up with his fine pencil-pushing!
The Ladder was great fun, see you again on Thursday nights and
in the next ladder in December.
