START-OF-LOG: 3.0 CONTEST: WW-DIGI CALLSIGN: K6UFO LOCATION: SCV CATEGORY-OPERATOR: MULTI-OP CATEGORY-BAND: ALL CATEGORY-POWER: HIGH CATEGORY-ASSISTED: ASSISTED CATEGORY-MODE: DIGI CATEGORY-TRANSMITTER: ONE GRID-LOCATOR: CM97 CLAIMED-SCORE: 175392 NAME: Mark Aaker OPERATORS: K6TD ND2T K6UFO CLUB: NORTHERN CALIFORNIA CONTEST CLUB CREATED-BY: WriteLog V12.52G SOAPBOX: This was a Multi-operator, Single-transmitter operation with three ops SOAPBOX: remote from the fabulous mountaintop station on Mount Umunhum. SOAPBOX: K6UFO had this crazy idea to set a M/S Record for the USA, and SOAPBOX: maybe we did it. K6TD likes digital operating, and was a wizard at SOAPBOX: getting our remote connections and logging working to the mountaintop SOAPBOX: station - with VPNs, internet logbooks, TeamViewer, etc... ND2T is a SOAPBOX: lively optimist and able to keep us moving forward, finding and solving SOAPBOX: problems, getting us in practice, and pulling together. SOAPBOX: Everyone had operated FT8/4 before, and was familiar with the SOAPBOX: Writelog/Digirite software. Everyone was an experienced contest SOAPBOX: operator, and knew how to keep butt-in-chair, monitor the rate, and SOAPBOX: pounce on Mults. No major mistakes were made. Without an SO2R- SOAPBOX: capable station, we could only operate one-band, one-cycle so we SOAPBOX: tried to keep busy every transmit cycle, and queue up our next target SOAPBOX: while receiving. Our average rate was 25, our best hour was a 47, SOAPBOX: our worst was a 6. But the worst arrived late in the contest when SOAPBOX: K6TD first switched to 80M at 3AM, called CQ, and ZL3TE called, SOAPBOX: and was worked without any repeats - two overs! Then the internet SOAPBOX: failed. Cloudflare blames CenturyLink, etc... but the internet was SOAPBOX: terrible right through to the end of contest. SOAPBOX: 20m was the best band all day long, and we spent 11 hours there. SOAPBOX: ND2T spent an hour to pull the easy Qs and Mults from 15m, but SOAPBOX: not worth more time. 40m was second best band and delivered for SOAPBOX: over seven hours. 80m was difficult, but needed at the start and finish, SOAPBOX: and a good run at 05Z. We never bothered with 160m, nor 10m. SOAPBOX: Mark K6UFO SOAPBOX: for K6TD, ND2T and K6UFO. SOAPBOX: Flex 6700 and SmartSDR SOAPBOX: Alpha 9500 running 500 to 800 watts SOAPBOX: Writelog and Digirite software SOAPBOX: JK Mid-Tri (3 el on 20m, 4 el on 15m) at 95 and 45 feet high SOAPBOX: JK 4 el 40m yagi at 110 feet SOAPBOX: 80m 4-square array SOAPBOX: ---- SOAPBOX: QSOs by hour and band.
