START-OF-LOG: 3.0 CONTEST: WW-DIGI CALLSIGN: K1DC LOCATION: EMA CATEGORY-OPERATOR: SINGLE-OP CATEGORY-ASSISTED: ASSISTED CATEGORY-BAND: ALL CATEGORY-POWER: LOW CATEGORY-MODE: DIGI CATEGORY-TRANSMITTER: ONE GRID-LOCATOR: FN42JP CLAIMED-SCORE: 92120 NAME: Timothy Carter OPERATORS: K1DC CLUB: YANKEE CLIPPER CONTEST CLUB CREATED-BY: N1MM Logger+ 1.0.10913.0 SOAPBOX: This time out it was just me and my ?100 watts and a wire? pea SOAPBOX: shooter station. Add to that a Murphy running rampant through SOAPBOX: the clover and you have the makings for a frustrating weekend. SOAPBOX: This was my first real attempt at SO2R contest operation. FT* SOAPBOX: is a near-perfect match for this style as it has well defined SOAPBOX: intervals for TX and RX. My Flex-6600 made it dead easy to setup SOAPBOX: two slices on two antennas feeding N1MM configured for SO2R. I SOAPBOX: had tested this setup a few times and found it worked well. SOAPBOX: Well, that was then. SOAPBOX: It wasn't long before Murphy arrived. It SOAPBOX: was subtle things. N1MM would be logging fine, but the clock SOAPBOX: stopped updating... and the online scoreboard stopped updating... SOAPBOX: the info window stopped updating... and JTAlert started adding 6 SOAPBOX: character grid IDs. ARGH! Also, the N1MM - WSJT-X connection SOAPBOX: window turned red as if WSJTX had crashed - it had not. Seeing SOAPBOX: that the log was being recorded I pressed on. After a time, N1MM SOAPBOX: become unresponsive and I restarted the PC. It would be fine for SOAPBOX: a short while but eventually the symptoms would return. UGH! SOAPBOX: Rinse/Repeat. SOAPBOX: FT4 was quite active this time out which made for SOAPBOX: a much more enjoyable rate. However I quickly discovered the SOAPBOX: shortcomings of my pea shooter station I heard lots of people SOAPBOX: but many did not hear me. Perhaps I could replace signal SOAPBOX: strength with BIC time? After a lackluster 13hr shift I opted SOAPBOX: for some sleep. Back at it at ~10Z for a final push to the end. SOAPBOX: 40M FT4 was a real surprise - lots of activity and 77 Qs. The SOAPBOX: other FT4 bands were active but not as productive. 10M was a SOAPBOX: complete bust as has been the pattern of late. 20 & 15M FT8 were SOAPBOX: the money spots with ~140 Qs each. A few highlights were VU2DX, SOAPBOX: ZP4MNB, 2 x ZLs, TI1M (for obvious reasons), DV1K, BI4KYT, and SOAPBOX: 9J2FI. SOAPBOX: Clearly I have some troubleshooting to do ? and perhaps SOAPBOX: some antenna work. Hey, if it were easy everyone could do it! SOAPBOX: 73 & thanks for the Qs! ...
