I played some with this operating event; something I've never done before.
I worked military stations, AAC, NIIW (two bands), AGA9TR (two bands), ADB, AAZ,
NPAX, WAR, and AAV.
AAZ is at Ft. Huachuca and I worked them on 60-meter simplex, since it's a
shared band.
There was also a message from the Secretary of Defense, sent on a number of
bands and digital modes. I never did get the whole thing since I learned from
AGA9TR who was supposed to send it on RTTY, he never got it to forward. There
were apparently others who were never on at the appointed time. My partial copy
was on MT63-1000. By the time I figured out the rate, the message was underway
and there was no repeat :-(
I didn't think this was very well organized and some of the ops were not the
greatest. The CW op at Annapolis (NPAX) was pretty good. I know he was sending
by hand since he made a mistake or two; not as many as I did though. But I have
an excuse, I see the rotator cuff doc on Wednesday.
