Comments:
One of my Alpha 87a amplifiers is back at the factory for some TLC so I decided
to simplify my life and enter the Low Power category. My plan was to apply
some of the SO2R advice I received at the Contest University. Seems to have
been helpful as I managed to make about 10 percent of my QSOs on the second
radio. I still need to practice, but the advice definitely helped.
One of my Orion XCVRs just returned from the Ten-Tec factory on Thursday before
the contest. It was in for a filter capacitor replacement and general
preventive maintenance. The guys at Ten-Tec really did a great job. In fact,
I had to be extremely careful not to accidentally nudge up too close to someone
when I had the filter set for narrow. If the signal wasn't in the passband, I
just didn't hear it. I'm sure I probably irritated a few contestors by getting
too close. During the contest if I became aware of a problem that I was
causing, I tried to slide or QSY. My apologies to anyone I may have
inadvertantly offended.
