Comments:
While I had good intentions for an attempt at a sweep, I still missed NT and NL.
I went looking a few times but obviously was looking in the wrong places. Most
of the KL7s I worked were not very strong here so I was doubtful that any NTs
would knock my receiver over.
I had a bit of rain here and as soon as it presented itself, I was pointing
blind as my rotator seems to fail indicating so there were a number of dashing
out the garage door with a flashlight beam in the night to assure I was pointed
where I thought I was...
I had SIX micro KEYER II lockups (a lot) but I now have the reset process down
to a science and can get back in seconds. One time it locked when a huge
signal came up (might have been coincidental)and I turned the soundcard levels
down a bunch and no more lockups for the duration.
Last state to find was MS and he 'found' me on 10m. Weak but stuck with him as
he was a K7 and I was not sure at first he was actually what I was copying. Lots
of WY and ND stations this time so you never know who will be the 'rare' one.
Station is still:
FT1000MP MARK-V Field
OCF = 80m
Rotating wire DP @67ft. = 40m
TH7DXX @55ft = 20-10m
Errant Rotating Device = Yaesu G-1000SDX
==========================================
Project in the hopper - (in Elmer's garage)
DB18 @55ft 40-6m
new Yaesu G-1000 DXA
so I've got to have fair weather, time and less contesting and get er done.
WN6K, Paul
