I'm getting ready to test some gear for OSPOTA.
There are only 2 categories: <100 watts and >= 100 watts.
So the Hardrock-50 is coming out to play this year. I did well last time without it (even though the bands were hot garbage everywhere but 40m). We'll see if I can do better this year.
I'm not a contesting kinda guy, but my home club sponsors this one so it's hard NOT to camp in a state park for the weekend and play radio.
My hands are tied!
Had a great OSPOTA today. Got around 53 contacts on SSB for the contest.
And my X6100 saved the day when I could not remember how to do something critical with my IC-705.
I will have to write up what I did wrong.
Know Thy Rig is my new motto (of shame).
Also picked up 50+ Ft8 contacts. This park? ACTIVATED.
