Hi Scott,
We probably worked, as I/we worked on all 6 bands from the next Island over.
(thanks!)
I am a "footswitch guy" when I operate SSB. That habit goes back decades
when I was a dispatcher for a spell and we had a footswitch in the radio
room and that was it ! (I prefer CW, but that's a separate topic)
I brought a small footswitch with me (to ZF2AA) and it was slip sliding
around on the nice tile floor, so I zip-tied the f/sw cable to 2 big coaxes
that ran under the table. When I was done CQWW SSB, I cut the zip tie as I
am sure the stn owner would not want it there.
At home, I have all my footswitches velcro'd down to a big plywood board
that sits on top of a vy low wooden box.(none of it moves)
