What great contest weather...
High winds >35 MPH and rain to keep us indoors this weekend.
Yesterday, I had to stop for a bit when the 20 Meter Yagi elements were hitting
each other causing the amplifier to complain.  And the rain static was bad...
I got started a bit late because of a self-inflicted check-box error that was
fun to find.  But all was well after that.  …Until this morning when I turned
on the computer and had no audio going to the programs.  This morning for some
reason Windoze thought that it should turn off the microphone input??!!??
With all of the time transmitting during runs, both the radio (IC-7610) and the
amplifier ran cool according to their internal thermometers.
I stayed up late hoping to catch a bunch of JA's but that didn't happen.  Just
the normal trickle here and there.
Other than the rain static, the bands were quite noise free here which was nice
on my ears.
There were some great long runs of 128/hour which was a lot of fun.
I noticed that most people gave the FT8 mode a wide berth – also nice.
Definitely, lots of activity on most bands.  A few of us even made some 10 Meter
contacts.
Thank you for all of the KB's and QSOs this weekend; it was a lot of fun.
And, probably, the last RU from this ranch.
Bill
