Comments:
This was another near-last minute contest setup at NX6T.
Operating hours were split up between N6CY (Rick) and WQ6X (Ron).
Both Rick and Ron operated remotely; Ron on STN-2 and Rick on STN-1.
Saturday morning, N6CY made an onsite visit to NX6T, for 6 hours of
actual B-I-C. Our biggest problem was turning the amplifier powers up
and down, blending max. power out while remaining under 70-degs(c) room
temperature.
We ran a pair of Elecraft K3/0 controlled K3's onsite in Fallbrook. STN-1
dumped its RF into a classic ACOM 2000a amp while STN-2 dumped ITS RF into an
Expert 1.5k amplifier. STN2 used the C-31 yagi for the high bands, allowing
WQ6X to jump around on 10 & 15 while N6CY kept 20-meters alive for HOURS by
way of a Stepp-IR which can be switched between NORM, BI-DIRECTIONAL and 180.
The Shorty-Fourty 2-el. yagi and 80-meter inverted bazooka-Vee were shared
between stations. No coax switch "collisions" occurred the entire
contest.
The lockouts and interlocks were in perfectly-timed operation;
most desirable during dual-OP remote access.
While the K3/0 radio connections ran flawlessly, because we used Hamachi &
VNC Viewer to run the N1MM+ software, occasionally, the entry screen would
freeze even though signals could be heard thru the K3/0 - FRUSTRATING.
If we "just disappeared" on you; that's probably why.
Overall, N6CY & WQ6X gave it one Heckuva of a GO in the WPX RTTY contest.
DiD YOU work NX6T? We worked many stations on multiple-bands.
Thank You for that.
