For the 8th year, Martin, AA1ON, traveled here from wherever he
happens to be.  Generally, it has been W1, W3, or VR2.  

I was sick as a dog starting around mid-day Saturday.  I rarely get
colds, but this one really hit me.  We were down 100 Q's from last
year and had to shut down for 2 or three hours overnight because I
just couldn't do it.
This was the first real serious test for the Flex 6700/Maestro.
 Unlike last year, we didn't do any SO2R.  I just wanted to focus on
knowing how to operate the Flex equipment.

The pros: The difference in handling noise, compared to the
FT-1000MP's is just off the scale.  Filtering also made a big
difference and, as a lot of you already know, the panadapter really
helps in finding a clear spot to run.
The cons: Used the Maestro on Saturday but too many problems.  Not
sure if they are bugs or operator head-space.  Just could not get the
vox to work right on SSB and there was no sidetone on CW or monitoring
on SSB.  I had to use one of my MP's as a CW monitor.  Also had some
other issues where we would get it in a particular mode and had
problems figuring out how to get it back.  On Sunday at midnight, I
set everything up using Smart SDR.  That is great software.  No
problems at all.
K6TLR just came back to the house with lots of Alpine stories.  I
gave the guys a mast, generator, FT-857, computer interface, power
supply, and a A3S and 40 meter dipole.  The stories these guys have
are great.  High winds, very cold, and snow, but they can't wait to
do it again....go figure.
