Comments:
First real attempt at "modern" SO2R from my little home-station.
Chuck donated a lot of time & effort to help get things set-up. I estimated
that approx. 1,000 Q's would be a realistic aspiration from a modest station.
So, the .935 outcome was a little low but in the park.
In the event, some stuff worked really well...and some didn't. The
"didn'ts" included some disabling situations of inter-band
interference. The antennas are all pretty close, packed-into (and strung
around) a 52 x 136 city lot, so it's easy for them to "communicate"
with one-another, LOL. At some point, the logging-program--entirely
unbidden--shifted my 'run' frequency on 20 from 14037 to 14004. I've seen this
a couple of times at Chuck's, too--not sure what or why? Fortunately, it only
happened once & was noticed within a minute.
OK, it was fun to be on from home--Mr. Kitty was happy to have Mr. Dad
hanging-out & keeping him company. The rigs & antennas worked well.
We'll see if I can clean-up the remaining pesky issues & try again for that
'elusive' 1K QSO-mark from here...
