Comments:
Interesting weekend. We got a late start Saturday because my Little Tarheel II
decided to act up on 20m. So, we cut out quite a few of the counties we had
planned to do in order to get to Austin before the 3:30pm showing of "Tornado
Alley" at the Bob Bullock Texas State History museum. After that was over, we
drove over to Holland, TX and stayed with AB5K for the night playing a little
bit of CQWW RTTY while there. Sunday we got up early and played a little more
RTTY. We then investigated my antenna problem and found that the insulation had
been worn off the 20m segment coils and also that the coils were pretty loose
there. So, we spent VERY minimal time on 20m. We operated on the way back down
to Austin Sunday morning and I worked one OE5 station on 10m; a first for
KU5B/m. We arrived at the museum to see the TIV2 (Tornado Intercept Vehicle)
around 11am. Got some really good pics and met the driver, Marcus. We left
Austin around 2pm but I'd already taken everything apart so we just listened to
W5CT on 40SSB on the way back to Somerville.
This was NX5M's first real TQP mobile experience but I think he had fun when
everything worked.
At the end of the weekend, we'd accomplished seeing the IMAX, the TIV2, and
done a little bit of TQP.
Thanks for the Q's and great job by Chuck and the TQP team for making what
sounded like a very successful event.
Colin KU5B and Bob, NX5M
