Some folks think they're doing well to make QSOs on SSB at a certain rate with a beam and 100 W transceiver, with an op and a logger. Exhausted after an hour or two, they wander over to the CW tent and find me working them at 2, 3 or more times their rate, with a dipole, "old" transceiver, and no logger. The reactions when presented with a manual transmatch were priceless, too. 73 de Jim, N2EY Yeah it is. I was at a FD a few years back and I fired up the "bug". You should have seen their looks of amazement. Had em standing in line to ask me questions afterwards. Dan/W4nti The older you'se guys gets, the better you'se was... |
