Definitely unprepared this week and the score has gone down appropriately. I’ve been slowly working to combat RF gremlins in the station. 80 and 40 are now 100% clean for SO2R, but I still have problems on 20 and 40 (both ways). I think the 20-meter feedline is picking up (radiating) garbage. I had a number of SO2R QLF moments. The QRN was pretty nasty here (probably on account of the approach of Hurricane Earl) and I had to work hard to concentrate on the main radio. I ended up just going to one radio after I went for three minutes without a QSO.
For next week’s NS and the NA Sprint, I plan to be QRV from a different QTH. More on this when it happens.
