Happy Contesting Olaf
Problem fixed! Water in rotor connector.
Our pro.sis.tel rotor invited Murphy over just before the Scandinavian Activity Contest. Was doing the last checks on the radio and software setup and everything seemed to be working perfect. Before returning home i wanted to listen to the bands. Usually we don’t have much time for radio except when contesting, so I was kinda excited. Now SAC CW is in jeopardy. Read more…
