Comments:
Another Totally Remote Operation from W4AAW with operators from Coast to Coast
of NA logging in. No operators in the shack during the contest. I guess W4AAW
is the only totally remote M/U station anywhere. If we are not, we'd like to
hear from others who are attempting it.
Operators and their operating positions were as follows:
KJ0D MO
KT1I & N1MGO MA
K3ZV FL
W4AAW VA
W4TMO NC
AA5AU LA
WS7I WA
Thanks to Don-AA5AU for the use of one of the most famous calls in all of
RTTY-dom. Our 29-member team has adopted the practice of using the call signs
of our members for various contests. (That way, THEY get saddled with all those
QSLs. HI.)
For once, we had no equipment or antenna failures despite the filthy weather
before and during the contest period.
Not a peep on 10M or 15M Saturday but the A index dropped from 3 to 1 and 15M
opened to the West and South on Sunday. 10M for us was a no show. Low bands
were a gift and 20M was our money band with AA5AU holding forth in his
inimitable style for four hours on Sunday. Amazing rate achieved.
Don-AA5AU and Iron-butt Gordon-N1MGO share the BIC award.
Our inter-station note pad worked very well this time.
So did our brand new hand-off procedure. It allows the remote operator at a
position to be relieved another remote operator without any loss of time or
running frequency.
Many thanks to all whom we worked. It was fun.

P.S. Our team will CU as "K3TN" in the upcoming ARRL DX CW test.
PPS: Hats off to Steve-NR4M and our friends at the "Goat Farm."
Another great success for that fb group.
