Comments:
After 13z session, I opened a new log in N1MM to be set up and ready to go at
19z. At five minutes before 19z, I sat down and found N1MM was not keying the
radio. I dove under the desk, checked cables and reseated connections, checked
the radio connections and all seemed well there. I had paddle keying but not
keyboard/computer keying. Keyboard seemed to be talking well with N1MM and N1MM
seemed to be talking with the radio, except for keying.
Resigned myself to programming up the four K3S memories with a cq, exchg,
mycall, and TU. I spent the next Sat down at the radio at 37 minutes with my
right hand/arm going for memory buttons on the rradio, paddles, keyboard. And
yesterday, I put the Kent paddles in in place of my old Vibroplex paddles. So,
there was an added level of discomfort dealing with the sensitivity of the Kent
paddles in a fast moving situation--Last 10 QSO rates hung in at the 90-150
range. It was fun, but not as fun as keying from a keyboard. :-)
Thanks to all for the QSOs.
