Comments:
Again, contesting is a worderfull learning experience from all aspects.
It always have an aspect to improve that makes you reflect about the bad an good
thing thats you did on the contest.
Our 80mts 4-Square antenna broke twice before the contest and we have to fix.
The last one was on the weekend before the contest and we only fixed late on
Wednesday.
Antenna switching boxes had electrical failure and again we had find a
workaround to fix it - Nice field day when you were supposed to be resting and
observing the propagation.
We had a two major electrical outages for about two hours. Murphy was not
invited but was there and off course one of our generators did not started. Time
to pray and eat something while Sergio PP5JR was calling the energy company
begging to re-stablish the energy as soon as possible.
It is a radio contest and we need to spend a lot of time on infrastructure itens
like network, UPS, Generator, electrical issues, water, etc ... Funny isn`t it
?
No complains at all, just sharing that you need to be creative and find solution
to problems. Yes it is always an opportunity to learn something.
Two of my favorite phrases to think about ...
1 - "There are no secrets to success. It is the result of preparation, hard work
and learning from failure." - Colin Powell
2 - "To love what you do and fell that it matters - How could anything be more
fun ?" - Katherine Grahan
Thank you very much to all that joined us on the big party and see you next year
!
Happy Holidays
73's from PT5A Team
