Comments:
Ended up being a casual field day style operation due to multiple factors. Used
a 40-10m OCF Dipole (the one used for two years in Afghanistan). MicroHam USB
keying from computer had issues on 40+20...ended up sending manually. Watched
NHL Chicago Blackhawks defeat Anaheim Ducks in game 7 on Saturday so missed
about five hours of 40m time on day 2. Couldn't figure out how to lower the
transmit side tone on the Icom IC-7100...argh! Hey at least I won C6A :-)
Best part was hearing XW1IC on Day 2 at 1509z on 15m. Worst part was not being
able to work him, hah!
Next year I think I'll buy a Kenwood TS-590SG at Dayton and operate from home.
Cost wise it would be close anyways. Doesn't make much sense to travel when SF
is below 100 and using a wire antenna.
About 30% QSL via LOTW already.
Yah Mon it's better in The Bahamas! CQ CONTEST!
All the best,
Eric K9GY
Freeport, Bahamas
