After the recent replacement of the SpiderBeam Jason KS5TX just couldn’t resist to drive down to Uvalde and have some real<\/em> fun in the Worked All Europe RTTY<\/a> contest. “A bit late notice”, he said; but… I think he planned it as such to have the station all to himself. And good for him!<\/p>\n

He got off to a bit of a slow start. Conditions on 15 and 20 meters weren’t really that good. Main reason though: someone had left the shack a mess the weekend before; so that cost him several hours…<\/p>\n

But: once Jason hit 40 meters QSOs came rolling in at the speed of light! He got a truck load of contacts there, holding his own CQ frequency; and even logged some QTC. That, with all the noise on 40, is downright impressive!<\/p>\n

So on he went, no doubt on a bit of a QSO rate high, working all the juicy DX and multipliers \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n

Jason only had one day to play; and K5WW double-booked himself so he took over on Sunday. For 2 hours; his internal clock is still on summer time. Logged some more QSOs, mainly USA stations. Nothing big there.<\/p>\n

It’s safe to say that 40 meter add-on works like a champ! With limited time available we didn’t work any new DXCCs; but looking at the DX cluster spots KN5S got spotted 3 times in 9 minutes on 40 meters.<\/p>\n

Yes, with 100 Watts. Not too shabby!!<\/p>\n

One of those spots was 2.1 kHz off; but that’s what you get with AFSK.<\/p>\n

Thanks for spotting anyway, bud!<\/p>\n

All in all: not too bad for a bit over 7 hours of playing. A total of 192 QSOs, score pending. And more <\/strong>QSOs on 40 than 15 and 20 combined, that’s promising!<\/p>\n
