Hi WWYC,
I was not a ' happy chappy' during the contest as =
G3PJV/P, saturday morning i got up nice and early 6:30am to get on the =
band nice and early, i fired my rig up and went for a coffee. I came up =
to the shack at around 7:00am to start contesting. There was a few =
stations on the band, i started cq'ing and about 1 hour later i had =
absolutly no qso's in the log. I decided there had to be something =
wrong. So i decided to see if i could work any other contest stations. I =
called a really strong Russian station and got no reply from him, after =
calling him a couple of times he said ' the station calling has very bad =
modulation' this really annoyed me as my rig was working fine the night =
before. After maddly wobbling the mic wires and turning the mic gain up =
and down i made a qso, but with reports of distorted modulation. I =
battled on and managed to get small runs going as i got about 30 mins =
before my modulation went and i had to turn my rig off for 15 mins. I =
carred this on throughout the day and ended up with a not so impressive =
150 qso's.
On sunday i started contesting around 7:30am still getting =
distorted modulation reports. I ended up after the contest with around =
281 qso's but i have not checked for duplicate qso's. I wonder how =
everyone else went on in the contest.
Paul,
G3PJV
