=========================
TOTAL SCORE : 3,914
432 RX was dead right out of the gate. Blown preamp and apparently
other issues up on the tower with relay switching so I was not able to
get that working. I managed one 446 FM QSO with N9ISN. Midway through
the day on Saturday I lost the 2M preamp, so I was TXing with the 17
element at 80 feet and RXing with the EME array (4 x 18 elements) at 20
feet. That actually worked "OK", other than for the tropo which I
pretty much missed.
On the bright side I *finally* figured out the 222 issues and that band
worked really well for a change.
I didn't do too much operating on Sunday - most of the afternoon the
bands were pretty dead.
So, I guess this fall I have some more things to resolve. Hopefully
everything will be up and running well in January.
Charlie, N0AKC
