KA9FOX's excuse for zero Sprint CW QSOs

[Scott Neader]

Ironic that I would be put on the SMC 'Black Hole Contest Conspiracy'
Sprint Team -- Boy, what a conspiracy it was!!

Now that I finally have an antenna in the air (multi-band dipole as a
sloper about 30-35ft up in the trees), I am finally able to get on and
'work the boys' from home when I can't do a full effort somewhere else.

Got down to the shack early enough to spend time programming TR just right
for all the CW exchanges.  I tuned across 20 meters and figured I'd give a
CQ and see who calls.  Set the ALC, check the power & swr.  Perfect.  Call
CQ but naturally, nobody answers my CQ.  So, I try again.  This time, ZERO
POWER.  That's right folks... bye-bye TS-930.

And zero Sprint QSOs for the SMC Black Hole Contest Conspiracy team.  Sorry
boys.

Sure glad I got that antenna in the air.  :-(

P.S.  Any recommendations on a good Kenwood repair center?
