Comments:
Plans for SO2R were scrapped Friday afternoon when TX problems developed in the
second radio and its backup, as well as in the SO2R switching box. Sure missed
the chance to chase stations during runs -- conditions were ideal for that.
The 40-meter 4-1000 amp came on with the rest when I turned them on midday
Friday, but when I came back later to do final checks it was dead. So I
switched the Alpha between 40/15.
Nice to work a string of JA/VK/E5 stations two hours before sunrise on Saturday
on 160, but the most exciting QSO was at 1405z on Sunday when XW1A answered by
CQ on 15 meters. I wasn't expecting that one the way conditions have been!
Ignored 15 meters until late in the say on Saturday, and was surprised to find
some Eu stations still coming through.
