Comments:
I had hoped to make this a full effort, but work and life had other plans. I
look forward to the day that I can no longer open my 3830 comment with an
excuse. I'll get there.
I turned the part-time effort into an opportunity to really focus on putting
SO2R in practice. This was the first major contest since reconfiguring the
station including a new switching matrix and trying a new equipment bonding
strategy to help eliminate the many issues I was having with SO2R in the past.
It worked like a charm and with those frustrations removed from the equation, I
was able to focus on operating technique. What a lot of fun!
New antennas worked great. I felt loud on 20 and 15, even with low power.
Tougher on 40 and 80. I could certainly hear much better than I was heard, but
I guess that's better than the opposite.
There are more improvements, both station and operator, but I'm having fun and
continue to improve.
Thanks for all the contacts and looking forward to the next one.
