Tom,
Running home station with commercial power makes you "d". Single
transmitter and you would be "1 delta".
I usually run battery power from the house and that makes me "1 echo".
I suppose you are just in this for fun, but for points, a"D" station can't
work another "D" station. Of course in all the excitement, everyone works
everyone, but your logger shouldn't give points, and perhaps some software
won't accept the QSO with another "D".
BTW, just got a couple of certificates in the mail: First for my county in
the PAQSO, and from the NY QP a first place from PA with a whopping score of
2,400 points.
Good luck with the move and everything related to it.
73, Steve KW3A
