NAQP
Put in a "part time" effort during last weekend's North American QSO Party (NAQP). Started out pretty well, and was getting into the flow of things.
The Yaesu FT-1000MP's have a problem with a relay, that makes the receiver deaf after your done transmitting ... and that problem started to kick in, and wouldn't clear up. I knew there were guys calling me, but they were so weak in my dead receiver, was having trouble hearing them very well. After a few minutes of this frustration, and the radio not going back to "normal", I quit my "part time" effort sooner than I had planned.
The past couple days have been spent keying in the remaining paper logs from the Florida QSO Party. Will be getting back to those shortly ... maybe getting them finished this weekend (if nothing else comes up).
Also, spent the last few weeks working with our Emergency Management and Red Cross folks, trying to get some issues resolved about our ARES/RACES "volunteers". Had a good meeting Monday, and we got all the issues resolved.
