[ADXA] A participation trophy!

[rcurt at centurytel.net]

The final scores are out on the 160 meter contest!



This is the first time I had ran CW for any long length of time since the early 1990's. I operated Saturday evening from about 6pm till midnight manually copying and manually  logging 103 stations into QRZ,  but turning in 102 since I couldn't figure out how to score the /MM that I worked.  I had no auto t/r switch for the rx antenna, so just ended up using the inv L for both RX and TX, which I feel was a big handicap.  I ended up tired and with a headache, but happy to have worked the stations I did.  Not much to brag about, but it was good practice. I hope to do it again in December.

I think with the tips give to me by ADXA people, I may  do better in the future. I now have K1MM software to handle transmitting and logging, as well as a T/R switch on the RX antenna. Looking forward to adding new countries for DXCC and improving the score!
