Only two operators, only ONE RADIO!!! Had a great time. A line noise problem
(like S8 with noise blanker on) developed about 1-2 weeks prior to test.
Think
problem poles have been ID but electric utility not able to get to them before
the test. A real bummer. Quiet is much better. That much noise is really
exhausting. Hope to have it fixed before CW.
My thanks to George for inviting me over to operate. A very gracious host.
Quite a switch from my usual low-power efforts. Haven't used packet in DX
contest in about 7 years. It has a mesmerizing effect sometimes, drawing one
into just chasing mults. It was fun, though, for phone.
