Comments:

My station is 80 miles north of my home in the high desert;
I use it remotely for casual operation but locally when I
am semi-serious about a contest. I didn't feel like driving
out there so I worked NAQP remotely (muddy roads due to
a rare California rain storm).

Worked pretty well most of the day, starting off on 15m
with a 120 QSO hour. Conditions were good.  Went to 20 and
did some search and pounce then started up a CQ. I had a
number of callers.  That's when the network decided to die
(sorry to the folks who I left hanging).

Network came back half hour later and I got back on and
called CQ on 20 for awhile but wasn't getting anywhere.
Finally figured out that the beam was pointed the opposite
direction from where it should have been (the rotator
doesn't indicate right).  Pointed it back out to the east
and the QSO rate picked up (surprise!).

Conditions on 40, 80 and 160 were pretty good too and I
finished the contest without any more network issues.
Many thanks to everyone for the QSOs.

  Dana, K6NR
