Comments:
I decided to finally really try SO2R and this is a good contest to practice the
techniques and work the kinks out of the equipment. I obviously need more
practice and I need to tinker more with the equipment, but I'm getting there!
At times, I didn't feel as loud on the high bands as I usually am. I would have
a nice run and then nothing for a long stretch. Other guys seemed to sustain
runs more effectively. I'm used to getting whooped on the low bands and kicking
butt on the high bands, but it seemed to be backwards this weekend!
The second radio really comes in handy when the runs are yielding little! 35 of
my QSOs were on the second radio.
Radio 1: Icom IC-7600
Radio 2: Icom IC-775
Antennas:
80m: Force-12 EF180BV linear loaded vertical (lower freqs)

Thanks everyone for the QSOs!! This is a fun contest!
