Bonjour,
Well here are my scores.
Even though the log shows 17:45 hrs operating I had a lot of distractions Saturday afternoon with visits and errands. I left the logging program running all the time! My actual operating time was around 12 hrs.
Was doing mostly S&P.
Propagation was very good and it was nice to see 10m start to perform for me to VK, ZL, JA, Africa. Still need those elusive Far East contacts.
15m was really fantastic but 40m was a real zoo! I liked when they operated split on 40m - it saved my ears!
I learned to use the notch filters to get rid of QRM along with the IF shift/width and RF gain controls. The notch filter works quite well on SSB.
I had a lot of fun. Looking forward to CQ WPX SSB.
