Comments:
Expedition to Topsail Beach NC (PENder County)
Station: IC-7610, KPA-500, 80M OCF Dipole at about 20' apex. (No tall pine trees
on the beach!)
Plan was to have more presence on SSB with HP using the KPA-500. While it
definitely helped, we were "antenna challenged" and didn't get out as
well as we hoped. We also didn't have a good ground and RFI created computer
crashes and inaccurate logging. Much of the time we were having to send CW by
hand.
Team time was split with CW LP mobile as K4QPL in 6 rural counties that were
very much in demand. (See K4QPL mobile report). Also lost time for takedown and
reinstalling rig in the car.
We could have spent more time in the countryside giving out rare NC county mults
but we decided all CW and long hours of rough roads reduced the "fun
factor" more than we wanted. We cede the "Ironman BIC" trophy to
N4CW!
Thanks for all the participation.
73,
Tad, K3TD
Jim, K4QPL
