[WSWSS] 2003 June Test de NX7U DM43

[Scott Townley]

BTW, not a serious contester at all...

6m      113 QSOs        81 Grids

Equip:  5 el yagi at 20', FT-726R, 150W.
This was "luxury" operating to me, as the usual complement is my mobile 
3-ring halo at 8' and 100W.  Signals were so loud for so long on Saturday 
that I had to turn down the RF Gain on the RX...and this isn't exactly 
"intermod alley"!
Also discovered that the PLL in an FT-726 will unlock at an ambient temp of 
about 93degrees...it got that hot in the shack (not air-conditioned) and it 
took me 20 minutes to figure out why I couldn't hear anything.  This was in 
the middle of the AZ-VE4/5 opening so I missed out on nearly all of 
that.  Air-conditioning is "on the list" but now is higher up!
Added 27 all-time new grids to push well above 300...Saturday was quite a day!
73,
