[3830] KQ2M '99CQPH SOHP Unassisted 15 Single Band ** NEW US RECORD **

[Robert L. Shohet]

Hi Guys,

Went single band so I could spend some time with my new (3-month) old
daughter Melissa and help mom.  Thanks especially to Joe, N3MKZ and also
to N2TK, N7UN, N1MM, K5FUV, K3WW and others, the 15 meter stack
(stackmaster problems aside) works great! 

On Sat. 11/13 I need to put up a 20 & 40 so that I can make a better
ALL-BAND score for the club.  We need two more volunteers (ground-crew)
for a fun day at a great location with a beautiful view.  I'm only 90
miles from the PA border.  Can anyone come up and help?

COMMENTS:

Had lots of fun despite horrible line noise to the West and a bad 
stackmaster circuit board (often had 1200 watts REFLECTED power).

Really neat to be loud from home (finally!) and the first trip to 
the basement shack for my 3 month old daughter Melissa to see daddy  
operate almost made me forget about the rest of the contest!

More comments soon if I can find the time and congrats to Scott, K8DX,
on a great job. 

Tnx for working me this weekend.  CU in CQCW!  73's  Bob KQ2M
