Now THAT was a real hoot! The boys at Array Solutions returned the ACOM 1010 with a new tube late Friday before Sweepstakes SSB started. A quick check, and we were ready for an all-out multi-single shakedown of the station. KL1JP loaned a brand new FT-950 to augment the primary station for multipliers. It paid off, because we snagged a clean sweep a couple of hours before the end when a VE2 station called us. We worked many difficult sections early, as the operators had some incentive. They all received $1 rewards for snagging the tough ones. (Thanks to Elaine KL6C for the photos.)

ReplyDeleteHaving 10 meters is what makes a sweep possible from Alaska. Great time.
