Comments:
DeeAnn and I had a blast. This was her first contest and she
really enjoyed it. She worked phone and I put about 2 hours in on cw. I even
got her to make a couple of cw contacts... ; )
Had a couple of malfunctions. Sat morning the cheapo hand mic I have for my
Omni VI+ stopped working. After a makeshift repair, I set out for R&L and,
after a six hour round trip, brought home a Heil headset. (Okay, I can bribe
her can't I?).... Sunday, the feedline to the KT-34XA decide to short out.
After two trips up the tower in the rain/sleet, I put up an old run of 9913
that had suffered a lightning strike. It worked better than the dipole and
scored even more brownie-points with the xyl.
One thing I did notice is that she can break through a phone pileup *much*
faster than I can....Oh, and now she wants an amp, and a new rotor (RS232),
and a Force 12, and to get the operating position set up for multi-op...what
have I created?!? Our weapons are useless against the monster!
One final comment is how nice it was to use packet. This multi-op stuff is
okay!
