Equipment Description:
TS850sat, Heil Pro Set HC5, TL922, 400w,
TH6 tribander @ 45ft plus dipoles 40,80,160m @ 40ft
Club Affiliation: GB7ADX Cluster Support Group
Breaks Taken:
According to CT, I worked 31 hours with 17 hours off.
The main breaks were 0210 - 0640, 0951-1051, and 2000-0715 (this latter
long break was due to a migraine which ruined my time and band plan, as
I had to retire to bed with ample paracetamol ;-(
The rest of the breaks were short ones on the Sunday.
Comments:
All in all a good trial for the second hand TH6 installed the previous
weekend in place of the Gem Quad. The migraine was a pain and lessened
my level of seriousness towards the contest on the Sunday. Next step is
to install a sloper system for 40m and repair my Butternut HF2V vertical
before IOTA 98.
