Comments:
Burned out from still working on my taxes, and needed a nap. Set 2 alarms but
turned them off in a semi-conscious daze and went back to sleep on the couch.
About 0210 UTC I woke up and realized it was almost dark and I had better look
at the clock. PANIC CITY !!!
I got up and scrambled to reconfigure the station (change monitor, keyboard
& mouse cables from home Confuzer to remote, etc., and set time to WWV!!!),
while ingesting some Diet Coke and Starbuck's Frappuccino caffeine. Powered up
Locust Peak confuzer via the remote solenoid that pushes the ON button and
fortunately that still little jewel still worked {SIGH}. Setup new TR4W file
for tonight's NSL.
This was my first NS(L) since that end of the last NSL, and it felt like I had
been transported to another World that was running in FAST Motion (vs. SLOW
Motion). WOW... I forgot what a rip snortin' rush this was :^)
Surprised to hear and work Mr. Booga (N3BB/JimTX) from his home station instead
of mobile tonight, and great to have LarryTX (K5OT) with us (see you in Visalia
next week, OM). Never heard a peep from K4BAI, N4AF, W7WHY and some of the
NS(L) regulars.
BTW, I found N3BB *BELOW* 14.040 on 20m, and I think KirkTN (K4RO) was *BELOW*
7.040 when we worked ... BRAVO, guys, for remembering that the lower NS(L) band
edge is NOT Zero-Four-Zero !!!
Some usual Locust QLF here and apologies to WillID (WJ9B) for typing WJ98B into
the logger (later corrected), and any others I QLF'd along the way.
REMEMBER..... RUBBER CLOCKING is NOT allowed in the NS(L). Calls and/or QSOs
can NOT be initiated after 0300 UTC. Set your clocks just before the NS(L)
!!!
73 & Tnx for the Q's and Mults...
Rick, K6VVA * The Locust
