Comments:
This was the third contest operating using my private remote. Band conditions
were very disturbed with not much to get excited about. Asia was weak, no UA0,
no SA and no VK. The highlight was a brief opening to Europe to work HA4XH and
SP5DX in what appeared to be a spotlight opening. They had few if any callers.
This was the first time I heard good signals form Europe this season do to work
schedules.
With my 11 year remote project complete I'm still getting used to operating
from home. No mud, no snow and a nice warm bed not to mention hot meals. The
new data link installed works flawlessly. Now I need to work on scripts for
antenna direction change to speed up the process. The current set up takes
several seconds to switch from JA to NE or East for those weak early morning
contacts. I'm also a bit rusty at times. So excuse my dirty paddle
contacts....
Next in line is CQ160 CW. It looks like there will be a big battle in the
multi-op category out west this year.
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!
Bob, W7RH
