It was a tent setup this year… finally put my dawn sleeping bag for a good use
:)
This time I also tried something new to me, Assisted mode. I brough small
cellular hotspot and hoisted it up to the trees to get some reception. Well, it
was super slow but enough to get constant stream of spots into N1MM… not sure
it helped me in any way.
My "amplifier" was a HEX beam at 6-7m height, hoisted btw the trees.
40, 80, 160 were served by trapped multiband dipole/Invee with apex at 8-9m.
My limitation is as always super rusty CW, especially when I was called by more
than 1.5 stations :)
Need to practice more, maybe some big gun multi station need junior operator?
Full two days allotted for setup are paid off. I was able to setup everything
and had time to tweak things and chase the ghosts.
After all the fun there was bit of mad rush to teardown antennas and site to
leave before dark, since I have 6am flight on Monday to go see a client on the
East coast :)
Best,
AA6MU
