Comments:
Operation took place from PEI at Ken's VY2TT station
a wonderful setup at VY2TT & many thanks to Ken for use of the station
For the 80M entry:
4-square on 80, K3 w 400hz filter, writelog
U5 usb sound board & W3YY interface for FSK, HP supplied by Alpha
.
Many thanks to AA5AU's web pages and W0YK RTTY web presentation PPT files
they helped. simply, could not implement everything & decided to
"Keep it Simple" minimum # of programmed key shortcuts, single
radio, single VFO and focus on push, pop opportunities. Maybe next year SO2R
OR SB with SO2V.
the 80M WJ5DX entry was planned if 20 died or played out.
The 80M time played well, possible NA record
On FUN: Did have lot of fun trying 5 watts on 40 (vy2/w5aj) in final hours of
contest, the 20M SB (VY2/W5AJ) got slow...
The QRP was a hoot, interesting how well it played (145 foot yagi)
