Comments:
This was the first contest in my life where I was able to use 100% of my setup.
Usually a day or two before any contest I'm able to burn or just destroy some
pieces of my setup. But not this time. I guess I was being lucky.
But still..... At the start I was making the same tempo with the leaders and
then things started to happen :). As new period started I couldn't start new
period in new Win-Test window. Still wondering why. And then Win-Test crashed
hard. (after new boot I continued with the one I started with and didn't have
any dupecheck til the end). Anyway my 40m antenna was too close to the MK2R,
all the sudden MK2R crashed as well. I had to boot up everything again and I
lost about 10 minutes because for some reason I had to make new setup between
MK2R and Win-Test. Still wondering why. Finally got everything back to work
again but I only had one problem. I couldn't use my autoCQ on Radio1. I was
struggeling about 30 minutes when I realised I'm the stupidest guy on Earth. I
forgot to set Radio1 "bits per second" to 19200. It was on default (9600). By
that time I was already way behind and then I started to push as hard as I
could.
Anyway. It was great contest and had lots of fun again in this year!
ES7GM Kristjan.
