Comments:
Had other commitments on Saturday so I did not get to start until Sunday
morning.
I spent the first 3 hours of the contest trying to figure out why I was getting
an occasional "arc fault" on my ACOM 2000A when I switched from one radio to the
other. It turned out that I had forgotten to disable my "auto" antenna
switching arrangement and I was switching antennas along with my amplifiers.
This is all getting too complex for me to remember anymore.
I mostly ran when I did get things figured out and I am slowly getting better
at this SO2R thing. I did not use spotting for this contest since I don't
think it helps all that much anyway. My best rate was 133/hour and 77/hour
overall for the 9 hours that I operated.
I had fun and thanks for all the Q's!
73, Sam W4PK
