Comments:
First time operating at W6YX, the Stanford Amateur Radio Club station. I did my
graduate work at Stanford in the 1980s, but never had an opportunity to use the
station before. It's a fascinating and historic place, as well as being a
super-station with diverse antennas and equipment. Mike (N7MH) and I did
parallel SO Unlimited efforts, negotiating sharing antennas, amps, etc. Thanks
to Mike, N7MH for introducing me to the station. I cobbled together my home
station into an SO2R and brought it to W6YX. It mostly worked with some caveats
which I hope to figure out when I have time (when will that be?). Had some
sustained rates between 150 and 200 Qs/minute 20m and 15m by interleaving Qs on
Sunday. A severe rain storm added to the excitement. Tried a bit of FT8 before
my 3 hours of sleep, but forgot to log the first few Qs. Did get one mult from
it. My dabbling ended up costing me time, as I only made a few Qs during 45
minutes, as I was experimenting, but that time could not be counted as off time.
In my opinion, the requirement of only counting two large blocks of time should
be dropped.
