REMOTE K3 / OptiBeam / 80m “V” / 160m “L”
First remote operation after my station was wiped out by lightning 17 months
ago. It would have been a lot longer if not for the outstanding help from
Dragan – VE3FF and Nick – VE3EY who went way out of their way with technical
and physical assistance. Also, like to thank Mike – VE3MW, Andy – VA3CW,
and Gerry – W1VE for convincing me to add a PC to the remote for trouble
shooting which I had to use all weekend.
Getting the remote working again was difficult. I got back my remote unit late
Wednesday and it took a long time getting SW control working as almost none of
the old settings worked. I was never able to get WinKey working and had to use
“DTR-CW” which was not optimal. In seven or eight years doing remote, I
never had a problem with WinKey until Friday morning. Also, I had a lot of
reboots and some power problems due to RF which I have to deal with when I get
back and the audio was always “muffled” since I had no time to tune the
remote connection. On the positive side I was able to work some on 80m and 160m
so that RF problem has been mitigated so far. I was still able to post my
highest remote score for this contest with a part-time effort just missing Zone
17, which is very unusual, for WAZ. Less than a total of 3 hours between 0000
UTC and 1100 UTC the whole weekend which hurt 40m and 160m Q’s.
Great contest as always; hope all had fun.
