Luckily enough the rotator bed has pretty big backlash the mast alternated between N and W&#8230; Can&#8217;t believe the strength was only 60km\/h&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>I got the new replacement laptop in the office with Hungarian keyboard layout but without numeric part. No need to say how many times I messed the callsign field and the cursor positioning&#8230; \ud83d\ude42 I already submitted the IT support ticket to swap it to ENG version&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;m going to through out the whole LC match I have for 80m. I checked the antenna before the contest and that time the SWR 1:1.3 seemed great. I don&#8217;t know how\/why but when QSYed to 80m the SWR sporadically started to jump up and down peaking up to 1:3+. I buggered something up in the box as it was flawless before I tried to extend the 80m Inv-L to include 160m as a duobander. This is the 3rd contest turned into disaster due to 80m.<\/p>\n<p>I did not want to risk the transceiver I gave 80m up. Only picked couple of Qs with reduced power but the antenna felt as a buried dummy load&#8230; I definitely lost on this band. My goal was to reach 900 qso in total which would almost have been feasible even without 80m.<\/p>\n<p>SO1R2V with no moves which is painfully visible on the mult total.<\/p>\n<p>Despite these above this was a good 12 hours. Need to fix the things and let&#8217;s start over the whole EU-HF let say next weekend? \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;m sorry Vlad, UA6GO. Missed the VFO swap back and accidentally started to CQ on your freq. Apologies for that.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[3],"tags":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/ha3ln.hu\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/891"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/ha3ln.hu\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/ha3ln.hu\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ha3ln.hu\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ha3ln.hu\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=891"}],"version-history":[{"count":8,"href":"https:\/\/ha3ln.hu\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/891\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":901,"href":"https:\/\/ha3ln.hu\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/891\/revisions\/901"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/ha3ln.hu\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=891"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ha3ln.hu\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=891"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ha3ln.hu\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=891"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
