Cort,

I’m sure no one on this reflector has ever done anything like that.   We always get it right every time.

Actually, I have to keep reminding myself to set everything up a couple days in advance and test it.  Seems like if I wait until the day of the contest, something is not working quite right.

man, i think that my higher brain functions have gone downhill big time! I should have been able to sort this problem out in short order! Didn't see the light until this morning! I had everything set up for the ten test this weekend and started out Friday but couldn't hear anything.... zero! OK, I thought solar storm or something! Saturday heard a few weak signals , I could work those all ok... S-meter never came off zero, SWR checked normal, rig set up right... checked other bands and they are all covered with big signals... so what's the problem with 10? I finally noticed a little RX light lit up on the antenna selection button on the 2000D . Here I had been listening on the external antenna port which had nothing attached to it... no wonder i could not hear anything..... all back to normal except I feel incredibly stupid! lol Cort
