Comments:
"Once more unto the breach" from the fine station of Brad,
K7ZSD. I have yet to
figure out just why Brad and Ruth let me do this in their
home. I suffered the
wrath of my wife (valentines day gone missing and all).
The conditions were not so good on the high bands. The auroral
hemoroidal
doughnut had a bulge that made short path to Europe from the
NW a lost cause.
Fortunately 40 meters came to the rescue and had a nice late
night run to JA to
make up for the 3 pt 20m contacts to Europe with 6 pt contacts
to Japan and the
Far East.
Used two 1000mps with WinTest and microHam MK2R+. Once the
bugs were worked out
the configuration ran without a hitch. Last year I lost 7
hours at the start
because of configuration and operator error which led to
operator induced
anxiety (OE = OIA).
I operated the full allotment of 30 hrs for SO and I am paying
for it today.
Getting old is way over rated.
Again I thank Brad and the lovely Ruth for their hospitality
and understanding
and my wife to whom I will have to make up for the MIA on
Saturday.
I thank all the operators who stopped by and to those I QRM'd
or did not hear I
can only offer my apologies; but cut an old fart some slack,
it gets harder
every year.
Ciao and 73
Hank / KR7X
