Comments:
Despite the almost total lack of DX from this location, this contest was alot of
fun. Great rates and no real lull in the activity from start to finish.
I must apologize to those answering my CQs on 15M on Sunday afternoon. I became
suspicious that something was wrong on this end when station after station kept
asking me to repeat my state.
Turns out I was using the 2nd radio; a Flex5000 SDR. The PTT and the audio over
the virtual audio cable had somehow gotten out of sync. The audio was not
arriving until about a second after PTT assertion and also getting cut off at
the end when PTT dropped. A computer re-boot cured the problem. Another lesson
learned, don't try to stream playoff football to the same computer that's
running your SDR and contest software.
I really like the Flex, its receiver is great, but I have some inter-station
interference now that I didn't have before, so that will take some
investigation. One thing is for sure, S&P (and finding a clear run
frequency) with a panadapter is a piece of cake.
Thanks for the Qs, much appreciated.
