Last weekend something happened to my 756 Pro, no RX/TX on 20m. So for this weekend, I dug out my old TS-850 to use on 20....got it setup Thursday, so thought I was good to go....came home from work early Friday and found my 160 Inv L almost on the ground. We had some pretty strong winds Thursday and Friday, and looks like the support rope loosened and down it came....wouldn’t have been too bad to put back up, except all the excess rope was twisted in the nearby trees.....took longer to get that out than anything....just before start time I realized I need another cable to hook the keyer to the 850...couldn’t find one, so I used the keyboard for my 600 or so 20m qsos....I hate doing that, really need the keyer for fills while running, but I guess I made do.....tried 40m, SWR on the Butternut was all over the place ?!?!?!?! Would come and go with the wind gust....took a break Saturday afternoon, and found out the wind must caused the 40m coil to come loose....fixed that ok....was 160 great or what ????? Running just 100w, I was able to work most stations on the first call; except for HI3TEJ, who I never did work....he seemed deaf as a post....I don’t think I’ve worked 44 DXCC on 160 in one season, let alone one contest, but that was my country total on 160. This is one time I’m glad I’m deaf in one ear, that’s the only thing keeping it from ringing....I figured about 36 hours in the chair, wish I could get a little more. 15 to EU never seemed to open today like Saturday, and I couldn’t hear a peep out of EU on 10, despite all the spots....I’ll post a score summary later...been trying to figure out what that smell is, and realized it’s me !!!!! time to hit the shower and the sack....lets get some more bodies up for NAQP RTTY next weekend.....
