2el Yagi (15m), 6-foot diameter STL (40m), IC-7100, 80W, from AZ
Since FT is out there 24/365 without a contest and RTTY isn't, I decided to do
only the latter. I hadn't been on the air since October, so I was looking
forward to this. Let's see, what went wrong...computer not talking to the
IC-7100 properly, failed power/signal cable for the stepper motor for the STL,
outlet on my DC power distribution unit failing, power surges coming back
through the stepper motor cable messing up the motor control, bad hardware
problems with flrig/fldigi. I'm reminded of Apollo 13: "What do we got on
the spacecraft that's good?" "...I'll get back to you, Gene."
True DX: Argentina on 15 and Japan on 40. Heard one EU. Also worked Hawaii on
15 and Puerto Rico on 40. Operating wasn't too bad when things were working,
but I stopped late Saturday night and didn't even try to come back on Sunday.
At least I didn't have to worry about keeping track of the weird single-op
timing rules. Thanks for the QSOs.
