Comments:
This was my first WAE since high school, about 35 years ago. By
comparison, sending QTCs with the aid of the computer is an
improvement.
I had to dig my 35 year old 4BTV out of the barn so I would have more
bands than 80 and 40. The ground mounted vertical (over 32 30 foot
radials) actually worked better than I expected, although definitely
not as well as a beam.
If I ever get a job again, maybe I can put up a tower for next year.
Rig: IC765, ETO 91B Antennas: 80m: wire hanging on side of 160 meter
vertical; 40-10M: ground mounted 4BTV trap vertical
I used WriteLog since NA doesn't support WAE. One should never have
to touch the mouse during a contest.
All my log entries are 3 minutes fast. Is there a tool to correct the
time stamps in a WriteLog file? Apparently, the WinXP NTP client only
syncs the clock once a week, which is insufficient for crappy PC
clocks.
