Comments
Thanks to Fred Lass and his family. Thanks to YCCC President Tom Frenaye K1KI and Paul
Young K1XM. This was a great honor for me to activate the new YCCC Club callsign. I never
met Jim Lawson (the original W2PV), but he has touched my Ham Radio life as much as
anyone. Plans called to expanding my 2 radio technique to include more hardware but still
ultimately have two radios in the headphones and select one TX. Since we'd only see two or
three bands open at a time, there would be less tuning up and more making points. This is
perfect in theory until something happens!
Fred and I had the covers off of all three TS-930 before the start as well as the Alpha 76! I had to rewire the new controller too! We were all set moments before the start. Fred had turned the big low 3L 40 and the two 20m Cushcrafts earlier in the day. Start was slow
in the first few minutes but heated up when I started surfing thru 20 on the second radio!
VY1JA in first half-hour!
It got worse! I started to get sick!
Too much travelling during the last two weeks and no rest really made for a tough time.
Running to the bathroom etc. Made CLEAN SWEEP at 0401 Z !!!!!!! But.....by 0700 I was
losing it both in the bathroom and toward the pillow. Decided to hit the bed and sleep.
Got up at 11:15 with a raging headahce. Did not get on the radio....back to bathroom,then
reset alarm for 45 minutes more. Alarm went off....still bad headache and got going. At
1900Z I was sleepy again (headache and all). Slept another 45 minutes and felt like a new
man. Made a BIG push for the final goal. Only DG and Fred have seen the WIZ in this mode
of operation!
In retrospect, this was the first -CW SS- event that I felt like I really was surfing
the activity. It's surprising to see a level rate throughout! Much can be attributed to
the K2TR station.
