[RTTY] ST0R woes

[Al Kozakiewicz]

The home QTH - which we're selling in a few months - is like the cobbler's shoeless children.  A 500 watt amplifier, a ground mounted 2 band vertical, and a low hanging G5RV that was chosen only because it fits between 2 convenient trees and loads up equally poorly on several bands.  SSB is generally a hopeless mode for me here on 20-17-15-10 either because the antenna is not a good match or because I'm a pipsqueak.

After hours of chasing them on RTTY and CW with no luck, I worked 'em on SSB on the 2nd call on 20m this evening.

Go figure...

Well I finally worked them after........
 
1. Getting to the rig several times after they peaked in 6 land.
2. Calling for 30 mins before I realized the amp was off 3. Calling for 20 mins before I noticed MMTTY marked managed to move to 1420 4. Calling for 10 mins before I noticed the SteppIR was in the 180 mode
 
Having just returned from Vegas and revied my LUCK level, I'm 90% certain the ARRL will no accept this DXpedition hi hi

If I agreed with you we'd both be wrong.
