Comments:
The worst thunderstorms I've experienced kept me to only 3 hours of operating
during this first effort at a full contest remotely. About 5 am
Saturdaymorning, I noticed a server wasn't responding any more so I drove an
hour to the station just to make sure something major had not occurred but
somehow, the Raspberry Pi server had gotten corrupted and I just needed to
install a backup to get it running again. Since I was there anyway, I worked on
a tower elevator I'm going to use for some tower work on Friday. When I got
home, I got another 3 hours in before I got a report of bad keying. Even though
I had the QRQ choice turned on in this borrowed K3, it apparently has problems
over 34-35 wpm. I decided to call it a weekend and my wife thought remote
contesting was pretty good because of that.
Oh well, I'm dying to get a pair of K4s which should come in 30-45 days but at
the moment, radio is pretty tough. Life goes on. ;-)
Other than the storms, conditions seemed awesome. Wish I had been able to play
more.
73,
Bob K5WA
