Comments:
The Two Rivers team endured 11 hours of dead air due to x-rays and aurora. Very
frustrating, since the hope was to better the 2011 score by a good margin. Not
even close, and no clean sweep. Even so, it was fun to learn to use many
features
on the new FTdx5000MP; e.g., neighbor KL7IEH was blowing away the entire band
on 20m phone until we kicked in the high-Q preselector. Dual receive really
proved
helpful as well.
KL3UI: "I learned a lot about the new radio (FTdx5000); the VRF
pre-selector is
f*ing awesome." WL7BDO: "Aurora viewing was great." N1TX:
"SO much
enthusiasm at the start. Great relief at the finish. Lots of fun in
between, just not always on the air."
