Hi all,
This time I really had fun. It was the first time that I had wall to
wall contacts. I hardly had to CQ. I think 24 contacts is a record for
me. Conditions were about the same but the DSP filter made the
difference. Without it, I probably would have only gotten half the
contacts. With the use of the DSP I needed to use a new RST of 119.
These contacts were unreadable without the DSP filter. Anyone who
received a 119 was really in the mud. So instead of spending all my
time CQ'ing, I spent it digging out the weak signals. First time I
heard multiple signals on the same frequency. But they were all weak so
I had to ask for many repeats. So we all worked for these contacts.
I worked a lot of new ones. They will get a QSL card. Also worked old
timer N/T Fox, Alan, and N/T Fox-to-be, Dan, N8VZU, plus others that my
Dad says are distinguished QRPers.
Equipment was a TS-850 with 270 Hz filter, MFJ DSP, 40M vert loop, at 5
Watts, from Northern New Jersey.
This is the first notice that I will be on next Friday night, same time
and place.
