[NCC] K8YM (ND8L, op) SSB Sweeps

[Ray Fallen]

321/83/53,286

Time on 9 hours

Started off this weekend with the best of intentions for at least 800
q's...but time, weather, work
and technology all too their toll.  Had some great help from K8CX getting
the ND8L antenna garden
all squared away...the station had been torn apart since WW-RTTY in
September, so spent Saturday
afternoon putting things together only to find out the antenna rotor
wouldn't.  So...finally got that
squared away around 8PM Saturday night.

I am SOOOO glad I have a Green Heron RT-21...in all the
troubleshooting/fooling around the antenna wasn't pointing
where the box said it was...Jeff's software made that an easy, intuitive
fix.

Congrats to K8BL, the perennial Sweepstakes machine...I think one of the
first messages I saw on packet when
I got on, was he had his sweep and I was sitting there waiting for the
amplifier to warm up and get QSO #1.

Sigh.

Finally got my sweep Sunday morning with, of all things, Indiana for #83.

Happy Thanksgiving guys!  Looking forward to seeing everybody at Tom's in
January.

Well, except for WW3S...I see too much of him in Bermuda.
