Well... here is my brain dump. .
(some score issue... gotta figure it out...)
Plan was to go all in. SO2R, dual run, blah, blah, blah. About 5 minutes before
the contest started, I found out that A. The station automation system had
committed suicide, and no manual system was in place, and B. the BPFs hadn't
been wired into the station yet. (We are rebuilding this season).
So, I put some things together, and found out that I could still do the
contest, but with a few limitations:
SO1R
The highband stacks were always all active, meaning that the 4/4/4 on 20m would
always all be used, including the 4 el Yagi fixed at EU (!)
No antenna selection on the low bands
No 40m foursquare
No 80m phased verticals
160m array stuck at EU.
So, I went for it.
Test started ok, and late (10 mins)
First 4 hrs we're great, rate meter stayed high.
Then I went to the low bands,
THEY WERE BAD.
More notes coming,
I need sleep.
