I was looking forward to firing up K1 #1966 for EQP. Scanned all the bands and heard nobody calling "CQ EQP" on Saturday, so I gave up. Figured it must be a small group and maybe band conditions weren't that great. I got thinking about it Sunday morning and thought something was fishy. I wasn't hearing ANYTHING, not just no EQP'ers. So up to the roof where I found my feedline disconnected from my makeshift longwire antenna. Did some roof-top soldering (any excuse for my kids to climb on the roof, even if it's to hold a couple wires while dad heats 'em up with the solder iron, is a good one). Went back downstairs and flipped on the K1 and found myself in the middle of the Wisconsin QSP Party. Found the rules on the Web and proceeded to make about 40 contacts in a couple hours, all on 40M where the K1 refuses to even try to match my antenna. So, no progress toward the Elecraft WAS, but I now know more Wisconsin county names than I did earlier this morning. :-) Craig WB0GUU K1 #1966 _______________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Post to: Elecraft@mailman.qth.net You must be a subscriber to post to the list.
