Comments :
I know that there is no SO/assisted category ... Well, I wish
I had read correctly the rules before going to TK ! But, in the
past, I have been more involved in the multi op categories. Thus,
using a packet cluster assistance seemed natural. Shame on
me ! (NB : the ARRL should probably, in the several lines about
SO operation, clearly specify that no assistance is permitted.
It is only written, in the MO category, that the SO/assisted will
be considered as MO. But I found it after the contest ...).
However, I had a great time, despite a s7 QRM to Asia, as well
as a s5 to NA. I probably lost a large number of contacts, and
have to apologize to those who called me with no answer. I think
I would have only missed about 10 to 15 mults without the cluster, as
I spent quite a while searching for mults in a crowded 10m band !
Rig was TS850, 2x4 el (1xnorth, 1 rotative), 2xPA (but only one
on sunday), MFJ DVK.
Congrats to Keith GM4YXI and Joseph F6CTT (@TM5C) for their
score in what should have been my category ...
Many thanks to Patrick TP5EP for hosting me, and to his mother
for her savoury "choucroute" !
CU from FY5KE for the 2002 ARRL DX SSB in march.
