SOAPBOX: Equipment problems this year will probably mean we aren't first in M2 and no new SOAPBOX: record for us. SOAPBOX: We had a good start on 80m and 40m, considering it was 5 AM in the morning local SOAPBOX: time, and only dedicated contesters and the late night Asian operators were on. SOAPBOX: As daylight arrived we moved up to 20m/10m and 15m. SOAPBOX: 10 hours in, the amplifier failed for 20m and 10m - long before we had completed SOAPBOX: our fill. The amp had been "indicating" strange, but had been putting our RF SOAPBOX: just fine up to then. SOAPBOX: The 15m amp was fine, so we continued with a lop-sided KW and 100w M2 operation. SOAPBOX: We got to 40m perhaps a bit late, and had a high rate of 1-point contacts. 80m SOAPBOX: struggled with only 100w. SOAPBOX: At 20 hours in, decode problems started, and one radio stopped transmitting. SOAPBOX: Only one operator was running both stations, so he got distracted from rate SOAPBOX: trying to solve the problems. We limped to the finish line with a new record SOAPBOX: score for us, but probably 2nd place in M2. SOAPBOX: The other "technical equipment" worked fine, the VPN, station-site PC, SOAPBOX: logging, Antennas, switches, filters, rotators, ... Thank you K6TD for SOAPBOX: the work this summer to keep things running. SOAPBOX: Thank you for the contacts!
