Comments:
I have always been too busy with family things to do much in the Stew Perry,
but this year I found more time to dabble (4+ hours). The participation seemed
to be very good this year, and, WoW, the JA's were as strong as the locals on
Sunday morning. I had a blast.
I used my remote station near Victorville Ca - a Kachina 505DSP and a SGC
500watt solid state amplifier. Always exciting to have the modem drop
temporarily during a QSO! Calling CQ is quite a mouse-intensive activity,
moving between the radio control window, the CW send window, and the Writelog
QSO entry window. S&P was easier.
Antenna is a 40' top loaded 80m vertical with a trap and a 160m "L" wire, fed
over 66 66' radials. Seemed to work well enough.
Once again, a great contest, perhaps I can spend more time in it next year.
