Just tried a FO-29 pass for the first time in months. I don't get down here
to operate at my main station much anymore. I put myself right around
435.850, a clear freq and proceeded to try and make a few contacts. Well,
after one contact all of a sudden there were 3 or 4 stations calling CQ on
850
That was a pretty good pass, given that I think I fried my preamp
(enthusiasm should always be tempered with a checklist!) and I was
aiming through the house here for the entire pass without the preamp
then. I guess the chicken wire stucco didn't hurt as much as I thought
it would have.
