Turned on the amp, it sputtered so I ran it at about 700W to avoid
problems. Still heated up the shack quite a bit!! Was able to play
Friday nite (soccer team party rescheduled - not on my account). Did
miss some time Saturday evening and Sunday morning but got in about 30
hours.
FT1000MP-> amp -> TH7 at 65'
Preliminary results - a few bad Qs noted during contest. I know
something is wrong when hashmarks show up in either "points" or "mult"
fields.
1184 Qs (2258 points) x 571 mults = 1,289,318
Saturday nite over-the-pole opening was really good (especially
compared to Friday nite). Both days were slow. Felt like an alligator
Sunday afternoon when high QRN from front to the north wiped out all
but loudest EU during the opening.
