Comments:
This was a Multi-operator, Single-transmitter operation with four ops
all remote from the fabulous mountaintop station on Mount Umunhum
maintained by Kevin K6TD. We had one op and radio for running, and a second
op and radio standing by looking for Mults on other bands, and planning when
to change bands. Radios shared one tribander through a triplexer, and
the Tribander and 40m yagi had to point the same direction (same mast). No
special in-band or octopus setups. Operators coordinated on Slack.
The K6MTU station is excellent, we could work deep Asia and far away Europe
with only 100 watts. Kevin K6TD had the station in tip-top shape, no problems.
Very few software issues, as everyone had tested their setups during
the week and Friday night before the contest. DigiRite did crash and have to
be restarted several times.
20m carried the load all day, 40m all night and early morning.
Brief periods on 15m brought fresh QSOs and good Mults. 80m had QSOs,
but no new Mults. Rate was generally 20 to 30 per hour. Mostly FT8, but
FT4 when the strong signals would support it without too many retries.
Sunday afternoon we finally had to venture onto the "regular" FT8
segments
and spend twice as long to make a QSO by sending both our contest report and
the grid and SNR they wanted. QSOs were 74% from North America and 14% Asia.
Everywhere else was greatly appreciated for the Mults. We took three hours
off after midnight, and finished early without the last three hours, for our
6 hours of off-time.
Multi-single is limited to 6 band changes per hour, while the Single-ops
have no limit and can do SO2R. We did better than last year, and made more
QSOs but less Mults than leader DR4W who we chased on the online scoreboard.
A fun event, with challenging technical, operating and strategy challenges.
