VA3PCSO LP ALLTried to operate Fri nite, but was suffering severe RFI in serial port, unable to control radio. Spent 24H checking serial ports on new computer.

VE7BGPSO LP ALLI had a lot of fun operating this contest again. We had some sunny so I had to take a couple breaks to get some exercise. Rigs used FT-897D and recently Vintage IC-751A new Logo
VK5GRMSHDaytime Propagation was very patchy. We could hear and work 500W+ stations but the little pistols throughout the contest were inaudible here in VK5. Daytime was a grind, Nightime was better but holding a run frequency with 120watts and 2 elements is almost impossible. Looking forward to next year!

WB9TFFMSLWB9TFF comments Gil and I operated at alternate times. He stayed up late Friday and Saturday. I operated daytime and took over for the finale. This resulted in the highest score we did. Thanks for the qsos. WB9TFH comments WOW, exceeded expections on this contest. Never thought we would reach 500 Q's, a first! Made most of the time BIC, paid off. We missed the first 2.5 hours, I think that hurt for Mults. We would take turns operating. I stayed up till 1am Saturday and up before SR Saturday a few hours and up till midnight going into Sunday missing SR, looks like we missed a good opening. Runs were hard to come by, mostly S&P. We got some 15m Q's, it was nice not being crowded and working weak stations. No JA's, VK, but did get Hawaii. Equipment problems was not being able to turn the yagi. The rotor loop coax opens up and receive drops out and high SWR. Had to tweak the beam to get the receive back. Works only in the south direction. Inverted vee on 80 and 40. Summer maintainence. This is the second time we operated M/S LP. WB9TFF won the 9th call area in 2016. Who knows, maybe a 2nd time? Great fun and learned more about N1MM using RTTY, good software. Thanks for the SMC Q's and see you in NAQP RTTY.!

WK9MSO LP ALLSaturday night fun while I worked on an FLDIGI+N3FJP ser# issue. Thanks!
WQ6XSO LP ALLThis was another last minute portable operation from W7AYT's Concord QTH. In between off times and internet failures during my remote run of NX6T, I found time to put WQ6X on the air in the WPX RTTY GiG. Running the FT-1000mp @100 watts (Full-Duty) RTTY is NO PROBLEM for this OP setup. I used the ICOM-7000 to monitor NX6T signals coming from Fallbrook. LooK for more info about this GiG at
