Tropical Storm Fay

Writing this while on duty at the County EOC. Monitoring activities, but at the moment, not much going on. Storm has been, literally, all over the map ... and now it's forecast to pass off to our east ... and not much wind expected ... probably a lot of rain though. We'll keep our fingers crossed and see what happens.

DX Cluster Node

Last week, I switched my DX Cluster node software over to AR-Cluster. In the process, I also changed the call sign over to K4FCG, which is the call of the Florida Contest Group. Did have a few things to work out, and it seems to continuously disconnect from the network, but it's not off-line for than a few seconds before it automatically reconnects again. Still trying to understand that issue. If you need a DX Cluster to connect to, feel free to telnet over to k4fcg.dyndns.org . It's set up to show only spots posted by US and Canadian stations.

NAQP CW

Worked the North American QSO Party this past weekend. Started out pretty well, but things slowed down later in the evening ... once I had to go over to 40 & 80 Meters.

It was nice to hear 10 Meters open again ... sounds like there are starting to be more and more openings, which is a good sign that things are starting to come back ... C'mon sunspots!

Used the Windows logging program, N1MM for the first time, after using the DOS program NA for many years. Felt is was time to move into the 21st Century and try something different ... and maybe a bit more "modern"!

One neat thing you can do, is automatically post your "real time" score while operating. Kind of makes contesting a spectator sport!

Final numbers - 502 QSO's, 158 Multipliers, 79,316 points.
