Contest started great, and I was having a ball. Broke off for dinner on
Saturday evening and that was it.
Central heating went on the blink and spent the rest of the evening and
Sunday trying ( unsuccessfully) to fix it. Am now waiting for a plumber to
arrive and repair the damage (?) I may have inflicted on our poor Central
Heating boiler for having the audacity to break down in the middle of a
major contest!
So in the end I only operated for about 6 hours.
Highlights: Being called by AA5AU, Bon ZL2AMI and a couple of JH1's
Lows: Have someone say TU PAUL in their report and not have my messages
programmed to respond in the same manner. SRI guys. Fixed next time!
I also saw the note on the reflector about dropping the dash between serial
numberss and like Phil I also dropped it and I reckon that I got fewer
requests for repeats than I did for the other contests. For me its a done
deal. No dashes. The extra time for the figs shift is worth it.
