Comments:
Well it was not a good effort on my part -- or I guess I should say the effort
was good but the results were not! Started on 40 and had good rate (60/hr) after
the first half hour and then decided I should try 20 before it was too late.
Well, it was already too late as 20 was the pits -- all I could hear were a few
west coast stations and I could not hear the other side of the QSO -- strange.
After probably too long trying to do something on 20 I went back to 40 but by
that time 40 was much more crowded and I got beat out a lot when I called. And
after getting the frequency I couldn't seem to raise anyone so I wound up S&Ping
again.
So then I decided to go to 80 and on the first call to K5GN the USB to 2RS232
port expander blew -- couldn't stand the RF I guess. So I spent 20-30 minutes
trouble-shooting and then re-cabling and got back on 80 where I had decent last
hour. Highlight was only needing to ask for one repeat of GOPANTHERS! Still the
best four hours in radio. Listen for me again in August.
73, Chuck, NO5W
