Well... I didn't set any records this year, BUT I
didn't do too badly either. I was tickled that my
body (still) allowed me to operate virtually the
entire available time... first time in a number
of years I've felt like doing so.
Conditions were decent... not terrific (no 10M at
all!), but still had a good time...
It was GREAT to work so many Elecraft friends
this weekend, and seeing so many of them doing so
well in the SS...which is my VERY FAVORITE
contest of all! I'm sure several folks kicked my
butt, but I still had lots of fun.
The K2 performed as anticipated.. PERFECTLY! I
ran with XFIL #2 (1KHz BW) about 80% of the time,
4000 Hz BW about 15% and maybe 200 Hz BW the
rest. I still prefer to let my ears do most of
the 'signal sorting' for me.. also helps to let
me catch those other ops who still haven't
mastered the art of ZERO BEATING and who persist
in calling many hundreds of Hz off-freq. Few were
missed as a result... MANY would have been missed
had I used the 400 Hz filter most of the time.
