Comments:
This was my first SSB contest. Used the BeLoud remote station WW4LL near
Atlanta, GA. Ran most of the contest. It took me a while to get my bearings and
get used to calling CQ with my own voice. I did not use the N1MM+ WAV files as I
did not have time to set up the BeLoud software for that. Thanks to Bud AA3B for
pointing me to the contest filter in the FRC doc files. It was great working all
the FRC guys, getting to hear all the friendly and encouraging voices. For some
reason logging Qs in N1MM+ caused the BeLoud radio frequency to QSY down 10-20
khz. I had to keep my eye on the run frequency and reset every few loggings.
BeLoud had no explanation for this. It really hampered my operations. I thanked
stations in my pileups for the patience while i sorted things out. Except for
that I had a lot of fun and I came away with heightened respect for SSB
contesters. BeLoud announced the morning of the contest that they are closing
down next month so this will be my last remote contest with them.
