I got an email a couple days ago from Steve, W9SN asking me if I would be
interested in joining his team which be operating the CQ WPX CW Contest this
weekend. All of the operators will be operating the station remotely over the
internet - K1ZZI,AA4CF,WW4LL,W9RNY and myself. W9SN and K0XV will physically be
at Steve's station for the contest.
Steve and I spent the last couple evenings getting all the software I needed
loaded on my computer. I took the station for a ride tonight in the CWT. Last
time I used a Flex Radio was maybe a couple years ago at WW4LL, so I was pretty
rusty on how to use one. Plus I had to become familiar with the Green Heron
software to choose the antennas and rotate the antennas.
This was a new experience for me as it was the first time I've ever operated a
radio remotely over the internet. My score wasn't all that great but it was
really cool to try something new. I'm really looking forward to this coming
weekend. I think we are using W9SN in the contest but not sure. When I'm not
operating with them I will be using my home station and handing out the rare KU8
prefix.
