Comments:

The conditions in past months certainly promised one good of a WPX and I sure
hoped to better my last year’s score. Well, proved to be wishful thinking. I
was having problems with the intermittent RX path in the good old IC746PRO for
a while, but it’s difficult to fix it here. What is even more difficult is to
get a new radio in. So I hoped the problem would go away miraculously for the
contest :) - well it did not! The problem really became obvious during the late
afternoon/evening openings to US, when the band goes quiet and signals are
rather weak, yet the QSOs keep on coming for hours. It is rather frustrating
when the RX level goes up and down several times within a matter of seconds and
makes it difficult to pull out a complete call-sign or exchange. My humble
apologies to all for repeated “call again” and “number again” requests.
 Must have sounded silly! I never complain about Murphy, broken equipment,
etc… but this time I really feel it’s a pity I did not have an extra radio
to “plug” in! It would have made a whole lot of difference.
