Rockwell Collins Amateur Radio Special Event

W5ROK Participation

Electronic recorded QSO's making use of N1MM hosting between the computers
Electronic log showed we had 280 calls but believe we had an additional 3 but had some sort of electronic issue
Electronic recorded QSO' s showed modes/bands ranging from PSK31, CW, and Voice over 80M, 40M, and 20M
Contacts included calls like KH6IB - Randy in Honolulu, HI, to VE5RH - Richard in Saskatoon, CANADA from coast to coast
The West Coast did not miss out as CA and WA where very active at times on several long runs
Paper recorded QSO also reached 189 and included some impressive runs
QSL logs appear to show pretty equal use of the Yaesu, Collins S Line, and the Kenwood during the 75th Annv. Event.
The 75th QSL card party has not been setup yet

You know its time for a break if you begin to hear things. K5SRT - Ross reported he was here one evening recently and though AE5IH - Kera might be operating PSK31 from his desk? It turned out to be a coffee pot ajar boiling off a spill.
Ideally you would leave both PCs on if you've been operating or logging in a split mode.
In N1MM after you enter the Call Sign you can quickly pull up QRZ.COM callsign information with just a click or two
Some people can write amazingly fast and well given some of the runs during the 75th. Ann. event
Not all PSK31 tools are created equal nor are they included in your log.
Ten foot ground rods may only get five foot in the ground before you reach a MILE stone in effort
N1MM profiles should be setup the same between all machines logging to the same database.
We appear to still need to work out some procedure on the electronic tool as it appears we my not know who some of the operators where if they did not switch the operator from the prior user or left operator as W5ROK
