Comments:
This was an exercise in leaning to use my new microHam micro R 2 radio box. I
finally decided to come into the 21st century and get a box that uses USB
ports. My old computer with an LPT port that I had used with my DXDoubler box
is showing signs of imminent death, and I don't want it to die in the middle of
a contest. I could not get the box to work with my usual logging program
WriteLog, but it works fine with WinTest and N1MM. I elected to use N1MM and
basically had to learn the program on the fly, having never used it before.
After many 5 thumb moments the first couple of hours I finally got a bit used
to it. Hopefully I didn't screw anybody up too badly.
The bands seemed good, especially 80 after 40 went long very early.
Missed NE, VE4, VE6, and NT. Heard all of them S&Ping, including VE6 several
times. Couldn't crack the pileup on VY1EI Sunday afternoon.
Thanks for the Qs.
