Soapbox :
I had this in the calendar but the family had bigger plans. Long story
but that resulted in about 3 hours sleep Friday night/Saturday morning
and dog walking duties for most of Saturday.
Late start after the above mentioned impacts, was just getting into
a rhythm and the doorbell rings. No, I didn't want to force every
bug off my property with their new service.
Earlier in the week playing around with FT-8 I attempted to swing the
beam west and it was making a god-awful noise. Of course it was
2 AM and the wife was not too happy since it is a house bracketed
tower next to our bedroom. Parked it on Europe and left it alone.
Around noon my son showed up and I had him rotate while I went outside and
looked/listened. It was fine. Rotator has been up in the air since 1999,
maybe some PM is warranted.
In the evening 40M was hopping. Again, started to get into a rhythm and
suddenly RF was knocking SO2R box off line. That has never happen before.
Power cycle on the box would restore it. Went to 80...
Pulled the plug at 2 AM local for some sleep. Got on for the last 2
hours to really weird but fun conditions. No rate but great DX.
Overall, a low energy effort. I just played around seeing what band
would support any Qs. Turns out I was able to work Europe on 10M until
about 1700 local. Actually using the station revealed some issues to
deal with. N1MM+ says about 12 hours total.
73,
Ken - WO1N
