Comments:
I started off by discovering, just 15 minutes before the contest started, the
cable I use between the computer soundcard and the radio would not work on my
1000MP-MkV. The cable had worked for two years on my 1000MP. I just assumed
it would work ok on the new model. Wrong! So, I worked the whole contest with
my own voice. I had forgotten what it was like without a DVP or soundcard.
The highlight of the contest was hearing a Caribbean station that was
frustrated with the depth of the pileup he created, say; ?I can?t understand
any of you when you all call at the same time.? ?Now, call me one at a time.?
Yeah right, like any station was going to wait to be the second station that
called.
