Many thanks to Eric for letting me pilot his station via remote control. We
used Elecraft K3s on both ends of the internet - with remote rig interfaces.
This is the first time I have used this setup - and I was very impressed. Our
ping times were around 60 ms - and I could almost send code listening to my
transmitted signal at 30 WPM. I did all of the operating, but Eric took care
of tuning the amp and keeping an eye on packet - so we were multi.
There is a short youtube video showing you his end of the operation -
Our goal was to set a new Canadian Record for the M category - and it looks
like we achieved our goal.
Conditions were good for most of the contest. I was averaging over 100
QSOs/hour through the first six hours. However, the rates on Sunday were lower
than expected. I started the day ahead of my KL7RA effort from 3 years ago -
but ended up over 150 QSOs behind. I guess there is not an unlimited supply of
people looking for the NT multiplier.
Very fun to experience operating the contest from NT while sitting at home.
