Comments:
Got home from work on Friday early to get ready. Turned the IC781 on, but it had
other ideas. Lost power, and no time to fix it.
Thanks to N2NC, I met up with him and borrowed an FT1000mp. Worked very well,
with the roofing filters etc. Nobody told me I had key clix either!
Murphy hit again the second night, with my trusty Ten Tec Titan amp failing in
the middle of eu sunrise run. Lost 15 mins hooking up another amp. Almost quit,
but forged ahead.
Band was very quiet here, and heard so much DX I couldn't work. Very
frustrating.
Was all I could do to work eu. Signals were way down from normal.
For example, UU7J was 579, but could never get him to hear me. Normally he is
much louder and easy. Many others like that. Heard 7x0, 5b4 and 3v8 but no
QSO.
Thanks to all the eu that struggled to pull thru the call. Sometimes took over 5
mins to complete qso's.
And with all that, this was my highest score ever from home :)
Congrats to W4ZV and AA1K, great scores as usual.
73, Andy N2NT
