Holy cow... Lots to catch up on... Not so much time before I fall asleep.
Tonight. HF was doo-doo and got on too late for SLVARC net or NTS net...
So I set up the Kenwood TS-790 I've had in a box for a month or two.
SWEET!!! Older radio, but it sounds WONDERFUL.
Got it working on two local 2m repeaters and one 440 repeater.
Gee, each band has its own antenna socket. Who would have guessed. Better read the manual some more guy...
++++++
Met most all of my goals for Sweepstakes, but worked like a dog in doing so. It took until Wednesday or Thursday to recover. (Staying up until 4:00 am making contacts on 80m probably didn't help...)
Over 6 hours, over 100 contacts. Life was good.
++++++
Wanted to work some of the CQ World Wide DX contest, but real life prevented it. Oh well.
++++++
Been hunting down RFI to my HF rig. Knocked down the ethernet interference with some help from K9YC. The old "peeling an onion" situation.
OK, that's enough for right now.
