Comments:
It was fun--best I've ever done--47 states, 61 DXCC, 30 zones. But
where was Europe?? Signals over the pole from CA disappeared into a
giant black hole!
Thanks to everyone for all the QSOs, and my apologies
to those on 10 and 20 who copied my ka-chunk, ka-chunk signals. They
were due to RF feedback into the computer on those bands (despite
shielding and ferrite everywhere). I was building new cables up until
the last minute hoping to solve the problem, but they didn't work and
all I got from it was a nasty soldering iron burn and a late start
while I administered first aid. About 1 hour from the end of the
contest I finally realized that the ka-chunk was synched to the WF1B
software polling my transceiver; slowing down the polling rate made
the problem less evident, but it's still there. More shielding and
more ferrite coming up!
