Comments:
I had so many technical problems that sometimes
I thought to my self I'd rather stay at home than
contesting this weekend.
But, the fact is that I LOVE THIS GAME!
1st the radio (Elecraft K3) lost its set up,
out of the blue.
I couldn't hear anything on the band.
I spent 3 and a half hours trying to fix it with
no success at all.
Then, I arranged another radio (Yaesu FT 1000 Mark V)
but I couldn't configure the Microham interface and I
had to work the contest keying with the right hand and
type with the left.
I spent more than 10 hours doing this, right in the
middle of the best propagation time to EU. My right
arm was hurting a lot.
When I finally fixed the interface set up, 2h later
there was a explosion in the shack and I lost the
power amplifier.
Well, many things went bad to me, but I don't regret
anything.
Unfortunately I couldn't beat my last year score, but,
I'm glad to spend a good time along with some other
good brazilian contesters and in spite of all this
bad things, we laugh a lot.
Hope next year I have more luck.
One big thanks to Mr. Oms PY5EG for let me operate
once again from his marvelous station.
