My "Baptism of Fire" was with MD4K on the IOM in CQWW MM . Thirty seconds after the contest started I was in shock..Five other operators, all in the same small room shouting their heads off. Transmitting CQ and callsign, and hearing the same said by others, albeit not quite in sync is quite off-putting !
That fact they are GOOD OPERATORS was shown in the results table when it was published. They managed just fine. The Heil headsets were about as good as a "Chocolate Fire Guard", however eventually my brain started filtering out the background noise. 73 Stewart G3RXQ On Fri, 28 Dec 2007 21:00:34 -0800, Ron D'Eau Claire wrote: > Toby wrote: > > Just try and work multi-2 SSB using Heil with the other OP less than 6 > feet away "shouting", "NEGATIVE my call is delta delta five foxtrot zulu > denmark denmark one two three four five florida zanzibar ..."
