Ironic that I would be put on the SMC 'Black Hole Contest Conspiracy'
Sprint Team -- Boy, what a conspiracy it was!!
Now that I finally have an antenna in the air (multi-band dipole as a
sloper about 30-35ft up in the trees), I am finally able to get on and
'work the boys' from home when I can't do a full effort somewhere else.
Got down to the shack early enough to spend time programming TR just right
for all the CW exchanges. I tuned across 20 meters and figured I'd give a
CQ and see who calls. Set the ALC, check the power & swr. Perfect. Call
CQ but naturally, nobody answers my CQ. So, I try again. This time, ZERO
POWER. That's right folks... bye-bye TS-930.
And zero Sprint QSOs for the SMC Black Hole Contest Conspiracy team. Sorry
boys.
Sure glad I got that antenna in the air. :-(

P.S. Any recommendations on a good Kenwood repair center?
