Club<BR><BR>Comments:<BR><BR>This was another Totally Remote effort.
Usually, M/M stands for<BR>"Multi-Multi." In this case, M/M should stand
for,<BR>"Murphy-Mangled!"<BR><BR>Ninety minutes before the contest start, the
coax to the 40M yagi was<BR>severed at the top of the tower when UV-degraded
zip ties apparently failed,<BR>allowing<BR>the service loop to be drawn across
the tower top. So! We had no 40M<BR>antenna Friday
night!<BR><BR>Saturday, Jay-WS7I suggested we get some kind of 40M vertical
going. So, a<BR>wire vertical with four radials was quickly made up
andraised. It worked<BR>surprisingly well.<BR><BR>We also had massive rotor
control box issues. These caused the 15M and 10M<BR>yagis to be parked
on EU and South America, respectively. Eventually, we<BR>were<BR>able to
re-calibrate the boxes and all yagis then turned. "But," we ask,<BR>"Why
did all this crapola happen minutes before the contest?" <BR>Only the Contest
Fairy knows. <BR><BR>The Internet connection worked flawlessly. <BR><BR>No
QSOs were made from the W4AAW shack. Operators and their
remote<BR>locations<BR>were as follows:<BR><BR>AA5AU -
Louisiana<BR>MM0LID - Scotland<BR>W4TMO - North
Carolina*<BR>N1MGO - Massachusetts<BR>ND3D -
Maryland*<BR>KU1CW - Singapore (9V1) Airport Passenger
Lounge!!<BR>W3UL - New Jersey* <BR>WS7I -
Washington State<BR>K4XD - North
Carolina*<BR>K4UB - Utah<BR>W6IHG -
Virginia*<BR>W4AAW - Virginia* (* indicates PVRC
member)<BR><BR>Some pretty remarkable QSO totals were turned in. Especially
noteworthy was<BR>Scott-MM0LID's effort with 617 Qs in his very first outing
with us. Gordon,<BR>N1MGO used his secret BIC tactics to produce 460 Qs.
Big thanks for<BR>Don-AA5AU for setting up our positions for diversity
decoding and for advice<BR>on other<BR>RTTY operating issues. <BR><BR>In
the last two hours of the contest, Patrick-K4UB plunged in, operating
his<BR>first RTTY contest, and from Utah to boot! He's a quick
learner.<BR><BR>Thanks to W0YK for overseeing this great contest. And
thanks for all the Qs<BR>and Mults.<BR><BR>We look forward to another Totally
Remote effort in the CQWW SSB DX test at<BR>the end of October.
<BR><BR>Murphy, please stay away!<BR><BR>73
