Comments:
Put our clubs' callsign on the air for the first time in any contest. Only
wish it could have been a better showing, but am lucky to be on the air at
all after last July's lightning disaster.
Cons: No 903. Saturday was a waste of a heartbeat with antennas and power
lines snapping in the wind. 2M preamp blew out Sunday.
Pros: Wind finally calmed Sunday. Down East Microwave's latest design 25W
1296 transverter worked extremely well mast-mounted! Mistakenly applied
600W of IF drive to it due to a wiring error on my part and it still
worked! N2CEI is a genius! Thanks to everyone who braved getting on the
air, and especially to all the Rovers and Portable ops who braved the
elements.
-73, Ron WZ1V
