Comments:
First time ever to get all 6 members of my family to operate together in
the
anything goes category. I did all my operating telepathically during my
1 hour
commute home from the hospital, which is now known as the Hot Zone. My
wife
Sharon KW5MOM banged out CW at 45 wpm with a wooden spoon while stirring
the
spaghetti sauce. Our son Delton KF5GDJ used a bass trombone slide to
adjust the
tuning of all the antenna. Oldest daughter Jordan KF5GDJ experimented
with a
new halo antenna design, oscillating it at variable frequency around her
hips -
think hula hoop! Middle daughter Laurel KF5KAJ operated remotely from
Provo
Utah without evening knowing it - I placed her photo in the Yakencom
homemobile
talky thing and it just worked. Youngest daughter KF5MTH had the best
time,
operating skateboard mobile with an iPhone adapter via bluetooth to the
EleFlexMFJAlpha model W1SHU-Had-1 ViewMaster band scope repeating
voicekeyer.
The use of the RF signal jamming device that was given to me as a
non-participation award in the 1997 running of the Poisson d'Avril
Contest was
the biggest contributor to our QSO rate of 122,991 QSOs per hour, a
significant
drop since the 2019 PdA contest - our log got rejected by the contest
robot with
a single error - BSxInfinity
See you all next year! When this stay at home order lifts, the first
thing I'm
going to do is buy some taller boots.
