Comments:
A last minute effort on Thursday night to setup remote operation. At 1am I
realized the rotor control box was not in agreement with needle pointer. By 2am
I was coming down off the roof after I manged to get both rotors setup and
actually pointing where they are supposed to be.
On Friday, I finally had a chance to test the system with Dana VE3DS while I was
already out on the road towards the campground.
Everything seemed to work pretty good except I was only able to fire up 222 and
1296.
Sporadic activity on my end over a total of 4hours or so, yielded a total of 17
QSOs.
12 in 222
5 on 1296
Best DX was 587km with K1TEO on 222 and 512km on 1296 with K1RZ.
Soon I will have full remote control of all bands from 6m to 10Ghz.
