Comments:
Tried to kludge something together to get on for the contest but I started too
late thinking about it and my mental faculties weren’t up for it. That being
said I was able to get on the digital FT modes for the first time ever, but I
couldn’t seem to get the line-in to the computer to read so I used acoustic
coupling through the laptop’s built in mic. I started on FT4 and it was not
going to well. After a dozen or so contacts I switched to FT8 and the acoustic
coupling seemed to print a lot better. The sounds coming from the shack sounded
like a bunch of drunken ghosts singing their favorite songs in 8 second
intervals. I just used the built in contest logging that WSJT-X has. Works
pretty good for a casual effort.
Thanks to WD0T, KR0N, and W0DB for moral and technical support in trying to work
through some of the issues I was having.
If having fun is what it’s all about then I guess I was successful.
Thanks for the QSOs,
Matt — K7BG
