Comments:
GREAT CONTEST AND LOTS OF FUN. AT THE BEGINNING WE ONLY HAS ONE OP FOR
WHILE,THEN LATER WE ACQUIRED SOME MORE! WE HAD THE PLEASURE OF TRAINING A NEW
MATURE MEMBER OF OUR TEAM TO HIS VERY FIRST EXPERIENCE AT RTTY. AFTER THE FIRST
TEN CONTACTS I LEFT HIM ALONE AND RETURNED A SHORT TIME LATER TO FINE HE HAD
MADE 40 MORE CONTACTS AND ALL MULTIPLIERS!
AS I FIRED UP THE STATION I NOTICED THE 80 METER AMP WAS SHOWING LESS THAN ONE
HALF POWER OUTPUT WITH IT'S NORMAL REDUCED DRIVER FOR RTTY. DISCOVERED ONE OF
THE 813 TUBES FILAMENTS WAS OPEN. REPLACED THE TUBE WITH ANOTHER 813 I HAD
PULLED OUT IN 1979 BECAUSE WE DIDN'T HAVE 6 HOURS TO BURN IN A NEW TUBE.
PROBLEM SOLVED AND WE HAD NORMAL OUTPUT AGAIN FOR RTTY.
10 METERS FOR US WAS AMAZING. THE FOOD WAS OUTSTANDING AND EVERYONE HAD A GREAT
TIME.
WE THANK ALL THE STATIONS WHO CAME BACK TO US.
73 FROM OUR TEAM WA3EKL KB3VQC W1TRT KC3KMF K3MTR K6ZO N3DPB
