A huge thanks to everyone who assisted me in getting prepared for the contest. Those include K6AM, ZF1EJ and CARS, ZF1RC, W6VNR, ZF1DJ, KL9A, K3LR, KM3T, N6TV, N2NL, W6YI, W6TMD, N9JA and Icom, and KK6SCE. Most people who know me, know that I am not skilled technically so some simple things for others may come as a challenge for me. Without everybody’s help, there would be no way for this operation to have happened. I was able to bring down a pair of IC 7800’s thanks to the enormous help of ICOM and Ray, N9JA. I know a lot of people questioned my sanity when they heard I was bringing these radios down, but I really feel they helped me tremendously. This was my first shot at being single op from the DX side. I was extremely lucky to be offered the seat at ZF1A. The goal for the contest was to successfully operate in a dual CQ environment at high rates on both radios. In order to prepare for this, I practiced with 2 laptops running MorseRunner on each side over the last few months. I was actually quite surprised how life like MorseRunner was as compared to actual operating. I was able to control the pile up just like as if I was using the program. Having this training was an enormous help. Everything at the station worked great. Andrew ZF1EJ was a big help in getting the beverages and the temporary 160m antenna up. It was a lot of work but well worth it. Congrats to all the other high scorers out there! Also thanks to everyone who moved for me. Not all the moves worked, however almost everybody at least tried to QSY for me. It was an honor operating from the ZF1A shack. I hope to be back here again in the future. For those who like numbers, I have included them below. 73, Dan N6MJ |
