Comments:
I ran into a hardware problem with my home-brew SO2R setup at the start of the
contest, so I spent most of Friday evening troubleshooting it. On Saturday
morning it mysteriously started working again and this enabled me to operate
some on Saturday afternoon. But when I got up Sunday morning it failed again.
To make a long story short, it turned out to be an intermittent miniature toggle
switch which I used to enable FSK for my #2 radio. I did not find it until
after the contest was over. I have now replaced it with a new toggle switch so
I am good to go for the next contest!
Thanks for all the Q's for the short amount of time I was able to operate!
