Conditions were pretty punk here in the Black Hole. There
was a lot of stuff I heard that I couldn't work with 100w,
but what was most interesting was all the stuff I DIDN"T
hear. It was interesting to see all of the stuff that
the skimmers in the USA were putting out that were totally
inaudible here. It was also interesting how little was
spotted (by machine or otherwise) the last six hours of
the contest. I kept restarting the telnet feed because
nothing new was coming in!
I fixed the problem I had with my 'new' computer in the
last contest by removing the DVD/CD drives. The computer
was solid this time out. Used the latest version of TR4W
with the bandmaps. Found out before the contest that there
was a problem wherein clicking on a spot could send the
inactive radio to the active radio's band. Decided to
be extra careful. About midnight before the contest
(which starts at 8am local) I woke up and realized that
'being careful' wasn't compatible with SO2R. I wrote an
article for NCJ some years ago (the Anti-Murphy Box) to
describe my hardware fix for that. But, in moving
all the computer stuff around, and trying to position
myself for maybe having to go with a 'modern' computer
(i.e., only USB ports), I had moved all the rig control,
that is, keying and PTT control to the Winkeyer, so the
PTT control no longer ran through the DX Doubler. So,
there was no fail-safe in my system. Naturally, I didn't
get back to sleep; finally got up at 2:30am to rewire
the audio and keying in the shack and test it out.
Got it fixed just in time to get up for the contest.
So, this contest seemed a lot longer than 24 hours by
the time it was done. Had real trouble staying awake
the last 3 hours. Did notice some flickering on one
of the band decoders early in the contest, so had to
stop and check things out - turned a lot of things on
and off, shook wires, etc. Didn't find problem, but
flickering went away, so continued on with no
evident difficulty.
Tried to make this a DX contest, but just couldn't
find the DX to work, either CQing or point & clicking.
Kind of like the movie Groundhog day meets Sunday
aftenoon at the ARRL Sweepstakes - every hour replayed
itself.
