Comments:
Wow! Best score yet. Lots of activity--worked a few new members (new to me) and
a couple Euros and KP2Q. 20 was a bit slow opening, but then, got a couple of
great run there. 15 seemed to open up more in the last few minutes, but 20m
callers kept interrupting--which is a good thing. Many thanks for the most
QSO's I've ever made in CWT!
I did make a few changes to the station and they may explain the +10Q increase
over previous QSO totals:
1) I added a triplexer to the feedline chain. I also included individual 10,
15, 20 BPF's at the triplexer (in the garage)--I have 6-band BPFs at the
station desk. Either the triplexer or the added BPFs made a whale of a
difference in cross-band noise when transmitting.
2) I replaced my old 12AVQ (10-15-20) ground-mounted vertical with an AV-640
(6-40m) vertical mounted on the ground--even though they spec >6ft above
ground. Am using it just for 10-15-20 in contests. Am building a switching
system to let me bypass the bpf's, triplexer and six-pak for WARC band ops.
Still have a couple of minor SWR adjustment issues, but it seems to work
well--for a vertical.
I'm looking forward to this afternoon and exercising the triplexer a bit more.
Great fun, as usual.
