Comments:
This was a first time operating a RTTY contest on anything other than a
casual basis. I intended the operation to be a tune up for the SSB and
CW weekends coming up. The station has been reconfigured and some new
equipment has been added. I've put together a new amplifier rack using
two commercial marine band amplifier decks acquired at a flea market.
Together I've dubbed them "AmpZilla". What better than a RTTY contest
to make sure they won't have any problems. The amps performed very
well and I'm sure they won't have a problem during the CW and SSB
weekends. Since they're auto-tune and can be remote controlled, I've
removed them from the "operating room". It's much quieter and cooler
in here now.
Only a few members of the regular team came over and those who did had
a great time. I sure did. We'll definitely be back in this one next
year. I couldn't keep the station on full time and I'm sorry I missed
the European opening on Saturday morning. 20 had just opened when I
realized that I would have trouble staying awake and I didn't want to
fall asleep while calling CQ in autorepeat. Lots of exciting DX to
work and a good time was had by all who came.
MVP goes to K2TE for not only putting in a superb effort here but then
going home to make a great SO score.
Best 73 to all,
Jerry - K0TV
