[SECC] Fw: CQWW SSB K4WI SOSB/10 LP

[Courtney Judd - K4WI]

Bummer! Everything worked flawlessly every night for the last week;
conditions looked like a good time for the weekend with good prop numbers.
At the bell Friday evening I noticed that the Alpha would not key up!
Scratching head; I finally noticed that the WAIT light was still on. Manual
says that indicates blown transistor on time delay board. So it's low power
for the weekend. Saturday morning I could hold a run frequency pretty well;
but Sunday morning I got bumped after 15 or 20 qso's.Ten literally was full
from 300 all the way up to above 950!  I missed Zones 17,18,22,23,26,34,39
and 40. Should have had the last two but never heard any activity from FR or
TF.  Only SECC 'er heard was WA4TII. I am glad that the circle got moved and
I can add my score for the club! 73's Cort

Comments:

Murphy struck first thing; Alpha would not key.. timing board went bad, so
had to go LP. Conditions were superb; Friday night wide open to the Far
East,
Saturday morning very good to Europe, but Sat eve very poor . Sunday was
wide
open again to Europe with qso's as high up as 28,930! Hard to hold a run
frequency with out the amp. Never heard a KL7 but worked 3 VE8's.. go
figure!
Hope conditions hold up for CQWW CW! Thanks everyone! K4WI
