Even with a late start this went better than expected . . . until the final hour when my keyer bombed-out and I ‘roughed-it’ using my Vibroplex the rest of the contest. I actually hooked-up the microphone and made the SSB QSOs this year. Nice to hear many of your voices! Great to hear some QRPers as well! I ran 300w from a Yagi on 20m/15m10m as well as on the Vertical for 80m and 40m. I was running 100w on 160m. Note to self: get voice macros actually set up before the contest. 😉

Comments:

I spent a few hours the first evening mostly dealing with a Winkeyer/Writelog
issue which, only when Writelog was running, when I keyed the rig, it would
send at the Winkeyer USB’s highest speed. Saturday I decided to just switch to
N1MM and solved the issue (I have been wanting to get good at N1MM as well).

I ran barefoot with an Inverted-L up about 40 in the soaking-wet trees.
