hi All, Got too long winded and list rejected my
first message so will make this shorter. i operated with local club just outside
of orlando, Fl. and used the call of N4EH. Have nothing against orlando club but
figured smaller club might need my services more and they did. i operated the
only CW station for the full 24 hours and had great time. First field day where
had no problem with our other transmitter interfering with CW station. Did run
into problem with their logging software which was not the normal ones and
impossible to navigate even for sighted people if you wanted to correct an
entry. Someone logged for me some of the time and then used my bailler to log
for late night stuff and later dictated to someone who wrote it down. Crazy to
not have computer setup that is good these days but it worked. Our station got
around a thousand contacts on 20 and 40 meters. The club ran four transmitter
class and the CW station got approximately 80 percent of all their points. Was
nice to be able to contribute. Sure was tired by the end though and glad to see
it over. never had problems of people not letting me operate by harder to get in
on phone station because more competition i guess. 73, Dave
