Comments:
Ouch! Terrible problems at the start. Couldn't connect to radio,
couldn't get logger to connect, something wrong with panadapter,...
I finally restarted computer, patiently started everything again,
and it still didn't work. Finally, I recalled the secret "Station
Name"
box in Writelog that K6TD and I had been using earlier today testing
Flex MultiFlex, and after changing it around to something new, I
finally got things connected.
I was so frazzled by then, I decided to start on 15m. Some strong
FT8 signals, but no RTTY... then I saw the time and how late I was
and kicked myself up to 20m, where only a few weak signals, but
I tried. I finally said "This isn't me, its terrible propagation, so
better try 40m." Hooray! 40m was humming with at least 4 loud
signals, so I could make some Qs. Wow, the Californians had
high numbers already! I had my antenna pointed wrong for
CA when trying to get K7TQ or N3QE, but I weaved and
wobbled and ran up the numbers.
