Station Description:
*Icom 756 Pro
*Tennadyne T6 Log Periodic stack array with two T6's on 75 foot Rohn 25 tower
*40 meter 1/2 wave dipole 4SQR array
*Single top loaded vertical for 80 meters (80 meter 4SQR under repairs as are
the 160 meters antennas)-
*Assortment of beverage antennas
First contest with the new 756 Pro and T6 stack. It was awesome to see all the
antenna work mean something special being on a level playing field in regards
to power limitations and pitiful band conditions- Har! I loved the Pro's
filtering and DSP. It takes a little getting used to the difference in white
noise etc, but once you get over the hump, it's hard to think about going back
to that old rig-
This is the first rig that actually really performs as advertised that I've
come accross- If you're Looking for a good rig for SSB contesting, the Pro is
very fb! The built in voice keyer worked perfectly but the vox using a desk
mic had a few moments- (my headset wigged out on me 10 minutes before the start
of the NAQP, figures eh?)
Seriously, this was a fun contest but seemed to be missing a number of known
and yet to be discovered contestors- This was the first serious contest for me
since our daughter Anna was born last summer.......I only missed out on one
eligible hour spending time instead on the honey doo list- not bad considering
the list (-:
10 meters was a total flop but 15 meters was humming for awhile-
Missed NWT, MT and DE- 73 Paul N0AH
