TU to all for this great contest.
Well, several technical problems in the first bunch of hours from the start
made uneasy to fully operate the contest as I planned, SO2R on a single PC.
Anyway I was lucky to have had the possibility to resurrect half of the station
and to work quite flawlessly with it. Also much more lucky to solve some other
problems, "where is that damned mouse(!)", that plague any station rebuilt on
the fly. Those small ferrite cores are really the cure to stop quite every lazy
mouse and more.
I was much more lucky to find a bunch of nice peoples that keep up answering
several times on the noisy 40 e 80 meters.
The second night I almost sleep due to this.
Great contest, nice peoples and a lot of lessons to learn: what's better?
I liked a lot to QTC formula and as Don AA5AU last year caught me quite unable
to work out a QTC transfer, this year I have gone back to school before the
WAE. I have had interesting evenings of simulations, both RX & TX of QTC's. It
was easy as I was also testing new toys and macros for the SO2R. Happy to have
had an examination by Don again and that everything seems to be gone on the
right way. Don would you check please?
This year also I went in a QTC exchange with somebody really in trouble with
QTC's and I was really happy to stop it all and try with him in another way.
We succeeded! Great thing learning together. So my SO2R HP faults went on as a
gain for another guy at last, that's great for me.
The prop wasn't so good as it was for the WPX RTTY and for the CQWW SSB. It
maybe that the number of operators on air wasn't so large as then. But it was
much better than for the Makrothen, the second half of this last was a
nightmare on highers bands. The end was on 40m, with peoples exchanging QTC
until late.
BTW in the two fields of the I don't like QTC's and I like QTC I will stay in
second one I like a lot this mechanism. Even if the post contest work is more
unpleasant.
TU to the WAEDC staff for the effort to come, now we have to wait almost a year
to have again ours half of the fun.
TU ALL & 73 de iw1ayd Salvo
