Comments:
In brief for now,
The good: Low band antenna changes played pretty well. Got called by some nice
mults, and didn't sleep as much as I did during ssb test. I liked using the
Orion on cw even though I felt I that I didn't know how to exploit its
capabilities, especially when sleep deprived.
The bad: After spending a lot of time hunting mults and checking on ten in ssb,
I probably went to the opposite extreme. I could not find the eu opening, if
there was one. When I could hear them on 40 long path, they were working each
other. Bottom line, I just didn't work enough mults.
The ugly: Scientific breakthrough - rf increases computer AI, i.e., the damn
thing developed a mind of its own with the beam in a certain direction.
Characters woould be added to the callsign field, messages changed or repeated
randomly, etc. Apologies to those of you who recieved some bizarre exchanges or
confirmation messages.
All in all, its still fun. Many thanks to all who took the time to call me,
even with a M/M, a M/2 and a big SB15 all on the air from KH6. 73,
Lou K1YR
