Comments:
Old W3UA switching system is dead (and completely disassembled). Long live the
new, all computerized switching system which was completed one day before the
contest, just to discover... yes, bugs in the firmware! So for this contest, NO
ANTENNA SWITCHING AT ALL. One transceiver -- one PA -- one antenna. So....
instead of multi/single -- single op, single band it is.
Shouldn't complain. It was my best 40 meter run ever. First 8 hours were my
personal best on CW:
D1-0000Z --+-- --+-- 121/45 --+-- --+-- --+-- 121/45 121/45
D1-0100Z - - 137/17 - - - 137/17 258/62
D1-0200Z - - 123/5 - - - 123/5 381/67
D1-0300Z - - 120/4 - - - 120/4 501/71
D1-0400Z - - 113/6 - - - 113/6 614/77
D1-0500Z - - 135/2 - - - 135/2 749/79
D1-0600Z - - 122/1 - - - 122/1 871/80
D1-0700Z - - 114/6 - - - 114/6 985/86
Overall, despite the power line noise (my eternal problem), it was not bad. But
working without packet spots sucks! If I had packet, I would definitely make
much more Qs and have much better mult. I wish one day CQ decides to drop the
"unassisted" class altogether, so we all be competing with best technology
available, and "assisted" not be "second class" anymore.
