Comments:
Yow! Who pulled the plug? Had 2 out of 3 amps give me problems, meaning only
500 watts out on 40,20 and 10. Stopped for an hour to chase parasitics in one
of them (LK500ZB) and stopped for an hour for electrical storm (Mother Nature).
But..the show goes on. Hats off to Pat N9RV (at W9RE) for another outstanding
effort, and a tip of the hat to all the expeditions and "standard" operations
(GM7V; RW2F; RU1A; OH2U etc etc) who provide multi-band excitement year after
year.
Packet piles are interesting....the "beehive" of stations calling gives away to
us non-packet types (yes....even us passionate packet-haters) the fact that
there is a good one tucked away under the bedlam. Tuning the band in the
"wide" filter position is an easy (and ethical!) way to figure our activity
from rare points. Plus...more and more DX becomes "packet shy" and choose to
S&P us humble W8-types rather than suffer the aggravation of a packet-generated
pileup.
