Comments:
My SteppIR control box is still on its way back from the SteppIR Doctor - so, my
antenna is stuck on 15m. With that in mind, I wasn't planning to work in this
contest - but still had it on my calendar of "contest weekends".
I had some free time on Saturday and decided to work on my clumsy wire 80m
vertical... it's now up to a whopping 3 radials (and a chain link fence).
Anyway, my wife noticed the calendar had a contest and asked if I was going to
be in it. She said "there's not much else going on this weekend - you might as
well". Sweet!
So, I finished my antenna work and got on the air with my new IC-7600. It was
my first experience with the IC7600 in a contest. Still have some kinks to work
out - but I'm happy with it so far.
Had a couple nice runs - and a lot of time exploring the rig. Would have been
more fun with a 20m antenna.
Thanks for the fills.
