Stop laughing! It's not funny!
FLEX 1500 @5wts to Cushcraft MA5V antenna. Only had a brief window to operate.
Was also trying out a brand new Flex 1500 transceiver. The receiver was so
good that it was deceptive. Even weak signals were relatively clear and
intelligible. However, I had trouble on transmit being heard. This was
probably due to:(1) QRP, (2) Excellent receiver had me fishing for stations
that were S5 or lower - usually running a KW, and (3) My lack of knowledge in
how to set the Flex 1500 transmit audio for contest work.
OK - you can laugh. It really was hilarious! I still have cables all over my
operating area. Next time!
Maybe my 192 pts will push the DFW Contest Group over the top! However, I'm
down in that range where any deductions might take me into negative
territory...if that's possible.
73,
Andy - WA5RML
