Comments:

Murphy 3  K8TE 1  Walking into the shack Saturday morning, I found the PC locked
up.  It took a hard shut down and a cold boot was not the way I had hoped to
start the day.  Next, one K3 was suddenly deaf.  The antennas tested find and
the TX output was normal.  Swapping out one K3 for another didn’t go well
either.  The PC could not communicate with the replacement K3 which apparently
developed an RS-232 interface failure.

While able to make SSB contacts with a newly installed 6600M, I hadn’t yet
interfaced it with the PC nor N1MM+.  I was able to make enough contacts to
qualify each of this weekend’s State QSO Party Challenge events.  I hope
watching the weekend’s sporting event goes better!  

I continued running FT8 to add a few more contacts Sunday while beginning the
planned shack disassembly and the repair of Saturday's problems.  Now that the
event is over, I have HF SSB/CW again and am ready for Murphy's next visit.  73,
Bill, K8TE
