Comments:
My thanks to Dave BEll, W6AQ, (and you, too, Sam!)for inviting me to operate
from his hilltop home. It's much nicer to see over the San Gabriel mountains
than to look up at them like we do in Pasadena, hi!
I used Dave's K3 which was a learning experience what with the frequency
agility required for an all band mixed effort. The receiver is very good, and
the noise reduction feature was not really noticed until I tried turning it
off. What a difference!
I can see by the numbers the DXer in me is still a problem. While others are
keeping the rate up continuously I am "smelling the roses" tuning the bands for
weak goodies.
The station consisted of a K3 (subreceiver coming soon), Alpha 87A, tuner, a
yagi each for 10/15/20/40, inverted vee for 80 and a vertical for 160. I
certainly felt loud everywhere. Only minor station glitches, no major Murphy
visits.
The last few hours were spent on 40 where I had a nice run. 20 meters Saturday
night was great fun, open to Asia like an oyster. I could have been there
sooner for the plethora of 5 pointers to be had.
W6YI was everywhere, seemingly at once. Danny gets around, you know!
It was good to hear ZD8Z going verrrry fast on 15 meters. As usual, he heard
me.
Except for a 25 minute rest on the floor, I operated the full period. The JA
run at the end helped keep me awake.
73, David N6AN
