Comments:
Started off fun, but less so as I got into the low(er) bands. Still having
problems with RFI on 160 and it locking up the SO2R controller and PTT on the
radios, so that band was out although RX was sounding very good. I forgot to
roll up the CW pigtails on the 80m TX antenna and the setup here depends on
fairly resonant antennas, so the power was rolled back quite a bit on that band.
40 was very fun with some decent runs through out the evening. 20 was blah,
but I probably should have spent some more time gathering mults. This was also
the first time doing SO2R on phone and I have some brain training to do. I'm
also starting to think that two keyboards is the way to go. I'm very proficient
using key combos to navigate, but there is too much room for error trying to
move back and forth between radios quickly on one keyboard.
All that said, I had a lot of fun and learned a ton.
