WQ6X Wriggles thru a Reversed Dual Stereo-RTTY WeeKenD

An unusual set of occurrences induced me to run the weekend's RTTY contest pair (SPDX RTTY
& BARTG-75) using the Yaesu FT-2000 locally dialed down to a modest 69-watts (on certain bands
100-w RF bombards the Toshiba Satellite docking port, disrupting CAT control w/the XCVR.
The original idea was to run QRP remote from Ramona until it was discovered that 3 computers
could not "talk to" the RRC-1258 internet interface unit.

Always ready in the WQ6X remote operations carry-in bag is a classic RigExpert PLUS interface unit.  For now, it has been returned to the portable setup I maintain @W7AYT's QTH in Concord (East Bay EB Section).

Saturday morning (the 4th Saturday of the month) the Amateur Radio Club of Alameda (ARCA) hosts another interesting speaker, this month being a talk (w/Show-n-Tell) by Mark Sommers (KN6YWK)
on building a Mag Loop antenna.  This will be an interesting antenna to test run during K6QLF's multi-station Field Day setup at the Oakland Yacht Harbor (in Alameda).

Coming back to my Alameda Office at 1pm, more fiddling w/the RRC box failed to provide an internet connection costing WQ6X optime in the SPDX RTTY contest, as well as the 1st day of the Florida Qso Party (FQP).

As you can see, the SPDX RTTY contest all but didn't happen.

On Sunday, setting things up for the BARTG-75 RTTY contest turned out for naught.

There really is nothing more to add about the RTTY weekend.

Maybe next year things will be better.
